People in NY are NOT getting the combo. Pharmacies are not allowed to fill prescriptions from their doctors.
The only possibility of getting the combo is from a hospital in a controlled “study”.
So who gets the meds, and who gets something else is up to whoever is controlling the study.
If I had to go into the hospital for this and they checked my social media (I’m no fan of Cuomo), I’d probably be given a placebo. ;-)
The directive contained in Executive Order 202.10 related to restrictions on dispensing hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for prophylactic purposes is amended as follows: No pharmacist shall dispense hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine except when written: as prescribed for an FDA-approved indication; for an indication supported by one or more citations included or approved for inclusion in the compendia specified in 42 U.S.C. 1396r–8(g)(1)(B)(i); for patients in inpatient settings and acute settings; for residents in a subacute part of a skilled nursing facility; or as part of an study approved by an Institutional Review Board. Any person authorized to prescribe such medications shall denote on the prescription the condition for which the prescription has been issued.
Same thing in NC - they can’t prescrib What TRUMP is talking about I have been told!
