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.”

Ohio ping
They’re killing people. Because they don’t like Trump.
I’ll bet the clothes on my back that they don’t have the legal authority to do so.
Hospitals are using it for 28% of the cases.
Doctors come out saying how well it works and Ohio comes out against it? They ar SO full of crap.
What is wrong with these “health” people? Big Pharma threatening to leave the state?
No President has won without OH...they want people sick. The doctors’ press conference with Dr Immanuel, likely has only been seen by a few on the Left.
Medical judgment and treatments of choice now become a political tool.
And people thought putting fluoride in the drinking water was a sinister plot. Ah, those were innocent days indeed.
‘I’ll bet the clothes on my back that they don’t have the legal authority to do so.’
and I’ll bet the loincloths covering my genitals that the ‘law’ is whatever the authoritative infrastructure wishes the ‘law’ to be any point in time...
Same Michigann. Gretch upped the rules again. I despise that witch
Dewine is a raging tyrant.
Class action lawsuit should be brought by every family who had a member die without HCQ.
Last year doctors could decide what was best for their patients.
Hmm, in every other health question doctors can still decide what is in the best interest of their patient.
Only with COVID are doctors too stupid to figure out how best to treat their patients.
But politics has nothing to do with this HCQ and CIVID question.
Not in Ohio
Not today
Budesonide, an asthma medicine, also works by preventing inflammation. Dr. Richard Bartlett of Texas is saving lives with this treatment. Check YouTube for his interviews.
Ohio is Democrat run, I believe.
Hence, the corruption, stupidity, etc.
I lived there for 18 months (seemed like 20 years) some time ago. The state was in the standard liberal collapse with companies leaving and the state idiots trying to fine them for leaving.
In the winter, the salt had salt had salt. One needed earplugs to muffle the sounds of your car rusting in the garage.
I hated that place and vowed never ever to return.
As is usually the case, the people were fine and I kept wondering how they manage to find the least intelligent to lead them.
Death Panels..........................
Death panels...............they are a myth, right?..............
Maybe some distribution centers but no manufacturing that I am aware of.
More likely Bill Gates sent somone to throw money at them.
Then there is the fact that Ohio is a must win state for the Democrat candidate.
They will do all these can to make Trump look bad to Ohioans.
“..What is wrong with these “health” people? Big Pharma threatening to leave the state?...”
No. They’re outright communists.
The POTUS has to win Ohio and they’re doing everything they can possibly do to prevent that from happening. IF a few thousand Ohioans die from this, no big deal to them. There should be an immediate class-action undertaken.
These evil, godless SOBs should be taken out and hanged.
Let the doctors decide what’s best for their patients, not some communist POS sitting on a board somewhere that hates the POUTS.
