Andrew / hydroxychloroquine

[redtail]

NY Gov Cuomo updated an executive order Monday to block pharmacists from filling prescriptions for the drug hydroxychloroquine for any uses not approved by the FDA.

If this is true it is...


Murder by default

Yup, in Nevada.

 

[Different Drummer]

Looks like the drugs can be used in approved clinical trials. Wonder if all the approved clinical trials are downstate with none upstate.

Have a gin and tonic.

Cuomo is still an asshole though.

I think they're trying to prevent prophylactic prescriptions, since that kind of use has less data, in order to keep supplies available for "study patients" (who are essentially all COVID-19 ER patients) and patients that still need Plaquenil for their existing diseases.

This. It's used in treating at least some autoimmune disorders- Sjogren's comes to mind, maybe Lupus, probably others (I'm not a rheumatologist but I've met a few... ) So not just malaria, for those wondering.

My MIl is on it for severe RA

 

[Blimey]

Arizona (?) did same thing. It's not murder. there are a lot of people asking for this because they read about it on infowars or some such shit. We really need to defer to scientists who have studied these drugs under statistically relevant trials. If these drugs are proven effective, they'll be issued.

Sorry to hear it, I hope it helps, it is supposed to be good in the AI arena. One of the Rheum's tried to put my wife on it in conjunction with some of the other meds she takes, but some of the signs of an adverse reaction to it are symptoms she already had; in consult with her Neuro and others we declined.

She claims it’s working out for her. I can see why your better half declined. Best of luck those issues aren’t a cake walk. BTW my in-laws are in your zip

Patient Denied Prescription Refill Due to COVID-19 Thanked for Her 'Sacrifice'

A Los Angeles woman with lupus was thanked for her "sacrifice" after being denied a refill of her hydroxychloroquine prescription because her health care provider was "preserving" the medication for people "critically ill with COVID-19."

www.yahoo.com

People that were prescribed it for other reasons are having their refill canceled

 

[Scoot McGoot]

About 2 weeks ago I tried to ask my doctors office about this. They acted like my request was totally unfounded and absurd.

I have an inflammatory disease called sarcoidosis, which this medicine is often used for successfully. When I mentioned that.... they didn't even respond to my messages. Interesting.

 

[Scoot McGoot]

I bet they all have a good stash in case their own needs arise.

I dont want to be a dick but... BuzzFeed is the source and no actual document is shared in the article.

I'm not saying it isnt what it may be. Just... sayin'.

I believe this falls in direct contradiction with the law POTUS Trump signed allowing even experimental drugs for end of life patients... If I have it, and I want this, I should be able to get it, period! I choose my treatment, not the Gov't, or the Doctor! I pay out of pocket to exclude the insurance scrutiny as well... Fuck them all! Who the fuck is Cuomo to say I cannot try the virus the way I want to?

Ok, enough... Back to the TV

This circles back btw to the war on drugs.

Why the flying fuck do I need "permission" from a Doctor, who in turn gets that permission from the Gubment to put things into my own body?

The whole idea of "prescriptions", as they are used in this country now, is absurd, IMO.

looks like hydroxychloroquine was ok back in 1955
