In the May 14 edition of her Fox News show, Laura Ingraham interviewed Dr. Ivette Lozano, a Texas physician, who was having trouble with a pharmacy that had refused to fill her off-label prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) without submitting to new red tape. It seems the Texas pharmacy board is requiring physicians to reveal patients’ medical diagnoses before allowing pharmacies to dispense HCQ prescriptions.
Dr. Lozano’s pharmacy must have been citing Title 22, Part 15, Chapter 291, Subchapter A, §291.30. However, if one goes to Texas Pharmacy Rules at the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, and clicks on the link for Subchapter A just under Chapter 291, the webpage one is taken to does not list §291.30.
A little more digging gave me Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Response at the Texas Medical Board, which, under “COVID-19 Emergency Rules,” has this link: Texas State Board of Pharmacy -- §291.30. Medication Limitations. That link is for a webpage showing that §291.30 was an emergency action, and it makes this requirement of Texas physicians like Dr. Lozano who prescribe HCQ,: “(1)the prescription or medication order bears a written diagnosis from the prescriber consistent with the evidence for its use.”
On May 15, the day after Laura Ingraham’s interview of Dr. Lozano, The Texan ran “Pharmacy Board Loosens Restrictions on Hydroxychloroquine Prescriptions, Reversing Course” by Kim Roberts:
Because of her concern for patient privacy that seemed incompatible with the unprecedented rule, Lozano contacted State Senator Bob Hall to ask for help reaching the Texas State Board of Pharmacy. Hall was concerned about the rule that seemed to be inhibiting the dispensing of these potentially life-saving prescriptions…

This is Sharyl Attkisson and her people. Worthwhile.
+1, it is excellent, and well worth watching!
Yes and colloidal silver as well
Historically I've had the back of 'big pharma' as the left has demonized it. Yes they gouge us with prices but they are subject to extremely expensive regulatory processes and litigation risks in this country, not to mention the drug development costs that foreign price controls force them to stick only the USA with. Always seemed to me that if we wanted new and better drugs we had to let the drug companies make a profit and unfortunately the only place that lets the is the USA so we get gouged.
But if they are proven to actively be colluding to supress a safe drug that is lifesaving to protect their investments in some other drug that doesn't even exist on the market yet than I officially take back all my defenses of them.
Regardless of Big Pharmaceutical, today’s hate-filled ABCNNBCBS Big Media is absolutely and irrevocably against ANY possible success of HCL + ZINC.
Doing a pretty bad job of it. Everyone knows about it. Now we know the presidents taking it. You can have your doctor prescribe it. Big Pharam is doing a pretty crappy job at keep a lid on it.
It’s about the fact there’s only a single manufacturing plant for HCQ in the US. Most comes from India. India wants to trade HCQ for H1-b workers to take jobs from American computer programmers. The globalist GOPe is supporting India in this ‘deal’ for America.
This a must see and a potential as to how and why POTUS is taking this...
“The problem is entirely fear of AMBULANCE CHASING LAWYERS.”
Doctors who refuse a patient’s request to get hydroxychlorquine should remind their doctors that there may also be liability in withholding an efficacious treatment to a patient who is requesting it.
Probably. It seems ALL of our institutions are crime syndicates. Corrupt, rotten and counter to the very purposes they state to have.
A jury may not see it that way.
Excellent article, thanks for the link. Going out to my FB late, it needs to be seen far and wide.
Disgusting bunch of greedy pigs if this turns out to be true. Wonder if the board was given kickbacks, and if so, how much?
Thanks for that reference Re the Dem and Trump.
The MSM plays the censure role very well by not sharing the good that people voluntarily come forward with to show that Trump is a problem
Identifier/ solver not not the Dems who create , prolong, or worsen things guided in the we care for you meme
