Regulating Medicine: Off-Label Drugs and Naturopathic Licenses

  • Summary

  • In this episode, we unpack the latest Wyoming House committee meeting where two bills sparked significant debate. House Bill 164 seeks to protect prescribers using FDA-approved drugs for off-label purposes, with exceptions for controlled substances and procedures related to gender transition and abortion. Meanwhile, House Bill 269 proposes the creation of a naturopathic medicine licensing board, merging it with the acupuncture board to regulate naturopathic physicians and define their scope of practice. Public testimony revealed strong opinions on both sides, raising questions about licensing, board composition, and healthcare access. Join us as we explore the outcomes—HB 164's passage and HB 269's tabling—and what they mean for Wyoming's medical landscape.
