Ohio pharmacy board withdraws rule prohibiting use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19

Score one for the good guys.

[10TV] Hours after Governor Mike DeWine asked the Ohio Board of Pharmacy to reconsider its decision banning the use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat COVID-19 in Ohio, the board has withdrawn the rule.

The board said the decision was made "as a result of the feedback received by the medical and patient community and at the request of Governor DeWine."

"This will allow the Board to reexamine the issue with the assistance of the State Medical Board of Ohio, clinical experts, and other stakeholders to determine appropriate next steps," the board said in a statement.

DeWine said Thursday morning he thought the decision to use the drugs should be made between a doctor and a patient.

"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.

The above being a response to this, from the night before: Ohio Board of Pharmacy bans sale of hydroxychloroquine to treat coronavirus

#3 It shows that remdesivir may be effective in reducing recovery time in patients with severe covid-19, although the certainty of the evidence is low. But remdesivir probably has no important effect on the need for mechanical ventilation and may have little or no effect on length of hospital stay.

The authors also sound a note of caution about the potential opportunity cost of using remdesivir while the evidence base is still uncertain. As a relatively costly drug that is given intravenously, use of remdesivir may divert funds, time, attention, and workforce away from other potentially worthwhile treatments.

Like HCQ...

#4 Why is the left and Deepstate so invested in preventing HCQ from being available to the public?

You'd almost think they wanted to kill us off. Lots of drugs cause palpitations and tachycardia. For example, aspirin, oxycontin, niacin, caffeine, Simvastatin and some antibiotics.

The AAPS (Association of American Physicians & Surgeons--doctors-patient rights group) is suing the FDA for withholding HCQ.

#6 Why is the left and Deepstate so invested in preventing HCQ from being available to the public?

Because they think the longer the pandemic lasts the greater their chances of beating Trump in November.

#7 Methinks Big Pharma has something to do with it...why the MSM is so against HCQ (ad dollars).
