Beginning Thursday, hydroxychloroquine can no longer be used to treat coronavirus in Ohio.
Pharmacies, clinics and other medical institutions will be prohibited from dispensing or selling the drug to treat COVID-19, according to new regulations issued by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. It can still be used in clinical trials, said Cameron McNamee, director of policy and communications for the board.
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.
“Basically, it’s a patient safety issue,” McNamee said. “We’re looking at the best science to determine what’s best for the patients of Ohio.”

Governor Mike DeWine just announced he’s now reversing the decision to block hydroxychloroquine prescriptions for treatment of COVID-19 in Ohio.
As I said yesterday, this should be a decision between patients and their doctors.
It looks like the governor got the message.
‘Ohio is the poster child for how useless Republicans are.’
and to think I thought PA was the worst of the bad; I don’t have to look far to see how wrong I was...
‘It looks like the governor got the message.’
well, well...some saying comes to mind; something about nuts and blind squirrels...
He must of decided to leave it to the pharmacy board to block its use.
Or the Pharmacy Board decided to block it because the Governor decided not to.
Either way Ohioans are going to die unnecessarily.
It does seem like a Pharmacy Board reaction because this happens the next day.
How many doctors on the board?
Sometimes the fact that DeWine is totally spineless works out to Ohioans’ advantage.
Are you catching my drift?
