banned its prophylactic use, so being infected, Chris would get it. But if Chris took the hydroxychloroquine cocktail prophylacticly, would he have caught the virus/disease?
Gov Cuomo limits hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine use
On Monday, Cuomo banned pharmacists from dispending the experimental medications for the purpose of treating coronavirus in an executive order.
He also limited pharmacists who were filling prescriptions for people who were already on the drug for another legitimate reason.
“No pharmacist shall dispense hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine except when written as prescribed for an FDA-approved indication; or as part of a state approved clinical trial related to COVID-19 for a patient who has tested positive for COVID-19, with such test result documented as part of the prescription,” the executive order read. “No other experimental or prophylactic use shall be permitted, and any permitted prescription is limited to one fourteen day prescription with no refills.”
But after the FDA approved experimenting with a combination of hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic Zithromax to treat the spreading pandemic, Cuomo got on board with testing the drug on his state’s skyrocketing coronavirus-infected population, WNBC reported.
I haven't read where he bought into the FDA approval and rescinded his EO.
