HCQ and Chloroquine can be definitely be legally prescribed for Covid use by US physicians
POTUS news conference, FOX NEWS ~4:05 pm
Reporter just asked POTUS about the recent FDA notice on hydroxychlorine
That it's [supposedly] "no longer considered as a reasonable treatment for Covid"
POTUS defers to Sec'y Alex Azar:
Azar:
To clarify your stmt, which is not quite accurate:
The FDA withdrew an emergency use authorization of chloroquine from Bayer mfg'd in Pakistan -
where emergency authorization was restricted to hospital use only
So they took the emergency use only authorization off.
"At this point HCQ and chloroquine are just like any other approved drug in the United States
they may be used in hospitals, they may be used in out-patients, they may be used at home"
"all subject to a doctor's prescription."
Furthermore, says that it's good that the emergency use authorization was removed,
because it had been widely misinterpreted as saying that
these drugs could ONLY be use in-hospital when this was NOT true.
