Bureaucracy frozen with fear it might actually work.
How to get rid of BadOrangeMan if so?!
The astute among Freepers know that this is fake news. HCQ + + may affect the heart so a test should be run before it is administered. It takes a physician to administer the test.
What is wrong with these writers? What does “ FDA stalls pullback of hydroxychloroquine warning” even mean?
Will never happen. Leftists too invested in using it to criticize Trump.
I think HCQ (and probably AZM, but there are problems with antibiotic and idiots overusing them, resulting in resistant bugs) should be sold OTC, like it is in some other countries. It’s actually safer than aspirin and ibuprofen.
BUT, even if some miracle occurs and they do allow it OTC, don’t expect to find any. A few Howard Hughes types, hoarders, and specuators will empty the shelves in minutes. And then you’ll get some idiot taking the whole bottle at once and croaking. Guaranteed. Because Idiocracy isn’t a comedy movie. It’s a documentary.
They’ll have to have some kind of controls to prevent hoarding. IMO, it’s would be better allow doctors to prescribe it freely, but on an one-per-customer basis.
You forget Democrats are all about death.
More astute than the over 6,000 doctors plus entire countries using this FDA approved drug on the WHO list of the world’s safest drugs?
Brazil is prescribing a combo treatment pack of hydroxy, arithro, and ivermectin by telemed or at mass walkin clinics, to treat at first symptoms and for preventive therapy by medical workers and anyone exposed. In the districts using this protocol, hospitalizations have collapsed.
Brazilian DR zoom conference, worth the watch. Treatment protocol is discussed.
It is sold OTC in various countries around the world.
But I agree with you, safest thing would just allow it to be prescribed as normal.
Like Benadryl?
Which causes heart problems?
And was made OTC before you were born?
Shall we discuss all the OTC medications that cause heart problems?
Astute my a$$. Sheepers more appropriate.
How safe is it when we limit access to the cure for a pandemic?
Oh, you mean safe for the deep state, so they can stop Trump’s re-election!
Prolonged QT interval syndrome can be a problem
There are those pesky ophthalmology f/u exams also
they (fraud fauci, CDC, FDA, big pharma) want to sell the high-priced vaccine ($)
and will sacrifice lives to get it
Or as the guy above pointed out the supply will get wiped-out by hoarders and speculators. Remember toilet paper?

No need for the test. When I was in Korea, in the 70s, hydroxychloroquine was on the mess hall tables right next to the salt and pepper. No physician administered a test. No one keeled over from taking. In fact, there was a small sign that told how many to take and how often. I know of no resulting problems.
The phenylephrine decongestant you can buy OTC has more cardio risk than HCQ.
They had to get rid of pseudoephedrine because of the War on Drugs and that has less cardio risk than phenylephrine. Another win for Team Drugs and another loss for john Q public.
