TEMPORARY ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
On March 8, 2020 Governor Brown declared a public health emergency in Oregon related to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Whereas, during a declared emergency, the Board (or the Executive Director acting on behalf of the Board pursuant to OAR 855-007-0040) may adopt a temporary emergency rule as a way to address regulations impacting the health, safety and welfare of Oregonians. Chloroquine is effective for malaria treatment and prophylaxis, and hydroxychloroquine is effective for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and porphyria cutanea tarda. There are no data currently available to justify the use of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine for prevention or treatment of sub-critical COVID-19 infection. There are no data currently available on the use, dosing, or duration of these medication for COVID-19 infection. Use of these agents for the presumptive treatment or prevention of COVID-19 infection threatens the supply for patients who depend on its availability.
JUSTIFICATION OF TEMPORARY FILING: Use of these agents for the presumptive treatment or prevention of COVID-19 infection threatens the supply for patients who depend on its availability.
RULE SUMMARY: This temporary emergency rule prohibits the dispensing of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for presumptive treatment or prevention of COVID-19 infection to preserve supplies for treatment of malaria, inflammatory conditions, and documented COVID-19 infection in hospitalized patients.

You can’t fix stupid.
Liberal DemocRATS racing to control.
So people should die, because people with Arthritis and Lupus need it to relieve their pain?
I think they would be willing to suffer for a week or a month, in order to save lives. . .
“Further, the Medical Board and the Board of Pharmacy provide the following reminders of some of the risks related to administering unproven therapies:
Creating the risk of adverse effects and additional harm.
Creating shortages of therapies for patients who have legitimate medical need for the drug’s intended purpose and use.
Confounding the interpretation of efficacy (particularly when randomized controlled studies are necessary and are currently underway).
Providing false hope to patients or a false sense of security.”
(dates)?
It's still allowed for hospitalized Covid-19 patients. Might make the supply chain a little smoother for now while things are ramping up.
I hope that Ore. is keeping the CV west of the mountains.
She’s killing us. We should have the CHOICE.
“There are no data currently available on the use, dosing, or duration of these medication for COVID-19 infection.”
What planet are they living on?
March 25, 2020 through 09/20/2020.
There is some other restriction going on in NY. as well Watching Fox/Friends from AM with Dr. Oz
Whoa! I don’t understand? This is so messed up.
I think they must have cancelled that Mar 1 order, if they issued this one on Mar 25.
Who should get it first: those who are in critical condition and whose lives depend upon it; or those using it for regular therapy for other conditions (who are not critical and whose lives do not depend upon it)?
“FILING CAPTION: Prohibits dispensing of certain drugs for COVID19 prevention; limits treatment to COVID19 hospitalized patients”
well,at least they were trying to preserve the limited supply for treating sick people ... doctors have been writing themselves prescriptions right and left and that has sucked the normal supply pipeline dry ...
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown tests negative for COVID-19
Today, now that she's in the clear, this democrat cut off supplies to the rest of the state...
They really do want to campaign standing (or dancing) on a pile of dead Americans.

The progs are just NUTS.

“Confounding the interpretation of efficacy (particularly when randomized controlled studies are necessary and are currently underway).”
Gotta wait for the bureaucracy to say ok
