Hydroxychloroquine has been touted by President Donald Trump as a way to treat and prevent the coronavirus. The Ohio pharmacy board planned to ban the drug as a COVID-19 treatment until Gov. Mike DeWine spoke up about it.
The State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy has changed course on its ban of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as coronavirus treatments following the governor’s urging to do so.
Beginning Thursday, pharmacies, clinics and other medical institutions were to be prohibited from dispensing or selling the drugs to treat COVID-19, according to regulations issued by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. They could still be used in clinical trials, said Cameron McNamee, director of policy and communications for the board.
That regulation change has since been pulled back by the board though. Instead, the board now plans to re-examine the issue with the assistance of the State Medical Board of Ohio, clinical experts, and other stakeholders to determine its next steps, according to an announcement
The board’s shift came after Gov. Mike DeWine asked the state pharmacy board on Thursday morning to rescind its plan to ban hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as treatments for the virus.
DeWine said the decision of how to treat COVID-19 should instead be between patients and their doctors.
“The Board of Pharmacy and the State Medical Board of Ohio should revisit the issue, listen to the best medical science, and open the process up for comment and testimony from experts,” DeWine said in a prepared statement.
Hydroxychloroquine has been touted by President Donald Trump despite medical studies showing the drug to be ineffective at treating the disease. The drug may also cause serious cardiac side effects, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

Thanks so much for this ping - it answers a question I had earlier.
I am searching for the article about the study I think it was in Michigan? that showed the HCQ/Zinc/Azirithromycin regimen works against COVID19.
But I can’t for the life of me remember the name of the study.....anybody know what I am talking about and have a link?
For it against it for it....
We are actually sending this drug to other countries like in Central America and Mexico, that will make it OTC.
Heh. I like the one where Trump walks on water across the Potomac and the headline reads, “TRUMP CAN’T SWIM”.
YES, that’s it - thank you so much!!!
Thank you - yes! Follow the money!

The right decision.
Let the patient and his or her Doctor decide.
bttt
Yes.
So Ohio's deranged pharmacy board wants more people to die by denying them an effective treatment for political reasons, yet other countries that we've sent the drug to have no problem using them at all.
The mind boggles.
