INDIANA â Starting today, patients with diabetes can now get certain types of insulin without a prescription in Indiana, joining 49 other states to allow the over-the-counter purchase.
Indiana Senate Enrolled Act 255 unanimously passed the state house and senate during the 2020 legislative session. It lifted restrictions put in place in 2014 on the purchase of older types of human insulin, although federal requirements are still in place for the newer, stronger, lab-created types of the drug.
