Erin Fox, senior director of the Utah service, wrote in an email that the university's health system has detected that some doctors are writing prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine โ€œfor themselves and family friends to have on hand or hoard just in case.โ€

 

The university refuses to fill those prescriptions, and at least one state has banned hoarding: The Ohio Board of Pharmacy says pharmacists can't dispense hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine unless for lupus or rheumatoid arthritis or a confirmed COVID-19 case.

 

Patients already are feeling pinched. Toni Grimes, 47, has been taking hydroxychloroquine for 13 years for lupus and said Monday that, for the first time, her standard 90-day refill order is being delayed until March 30. Grimes, who runs a Phoenix-area Lupus Foundation support group, said another member also hasnโ€™t received her refill.
