Ohio Board of Pharmacy bans sale of hydroxychloroquine to treat coronavirus

Jul 29, 2020 / 06:57 PM EDT / Updated: Jul 29, 2020 / 08:05 PM EDT

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Beginning July 30, a Ohio Board of Pharmacy rule goes into effect banning the dispensing of hydroxychloroquine for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19.

The rule prohibits pharmacies from selling or dispensing hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine for use as a coronavirus treatment without approval from the board’s executive director. It also specifies that all prior approvals for the drugs are no longer applicable.

The rule does not apply to board-approved clinical trials. Participants must have documentation that they are part of such a trial. It does not apply to prescriptions to treat other conditions.

The rule reads:

4729:5-5-21 Prescription requirements for chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine.  .  .  .

It is better to deny medication that could save a dying person's life than to let them have something that was approved for medical use by the FDA over half a century ago.

Sure. Better to allow more bodies to hit the floor than to allow that Trump might have correct about something.

So, pharmacists are making medical diagnosis and treatments without even seeing a patient...
Why do we need doctors then?

On Thursday, the Ohio Board of Pharmacy withdrew their order banning the use of Hydroxychloroquine to treat the novel coronavirus. The decision comes following an appeal by GOP Gov. Mike DeWine asking the board to reevaluate their rule.

Looks like a #Resister (or three) on the Ohio Board of Pharmacy got forced to back down.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Ohio pharmacy board reverses ban on hydroxychloroquine as coronavirus treatment after DeWine’s request
Columbus Dispatch, Jul 30, 2020

Hydroxychloroquine has been touted by President Donald Trump as a way to treat and prevent the coronavirus. The Ohio pharmacy board planned to ban the drug as a COVID-19 treatment until Gov. Mike DeWine spoke up about it.

The State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy has changed course on its ban of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as coronavirus treatments following the governor’s urging to do so.

Beginning Thursday, pharmacies, clinics and other medical institutions were to be prohibited from dispensing or selling the drugs to treat COVID-19, according to regulations issued by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. They could still be used in clinical trials, said Cameron McNamee, director of policy and communications for the board.

That regulation change has since been pulled back by the board though. Instead, the board now plans to re-examine the issue with the assistance of the State Medical Board of Ohio, clinical experts, and other stakeholders to determine its next steps, according to an announcement

The board’s shift came after Gov. Mike DeWine asked the state pharmacy board on Thursday morning to rescind its plan to ban hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as treatments for the virus.
