In a recent announcement, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis expressed his intention to advocate for the state legislature to approve a bill regarding the use of ivermectin. DeSantis has indicated his readiness to sign the legislation once it passes.

The governor made this declaration through a social media post, responding to inquiries about the availability of ivermectin in Florida. The drug, primarily used to treat parasitic worm infections, has been a topic of public interest.

Meanwhile, Republican State Representative Jeff Holcomb recently decided to withdraw his proposed bill, which aimed to make ivermectin tablets accessible over the counter. However, he assured constituents that the initiative is not abandoned.
