Hydroxychloroquine banned by Ohio pharmacy board for coronavirus treatment
Starting on Thursday, Ohio pharmacies, clinics and other medical facilities will be prohibited from dispensing or selling the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, to treat the novel coronavirus.
Pharmacy Board says decision had nothing to do with Trump
The Pharmacy Board went on to say the prohibition does not apply to prescriptions "issued as part of a documented institutional review board-approved clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drugs to treat COVID-19. Prescriptions must include documentation that the patient is enrolled in a clinical trial."
Why don't they let peoples' physicians decide what drug is appropriate for them?
They do, but there are other issues involved here. It is an effective drug for other conditions. If tons of people start using it then getting it to the one we know it can help becomes a problem.

There's clearly exceptions in the text but the main thrust is clear and Trump is going to lose his mind over it.

I don't think it's that. It's the same way people drank bleach when Trump suggested it. Some people listen to ever word this man says and will OD on HCQ
"No prescription for chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine may be dispensed by a pharmacist or sold at retail by a licensed terminal distributor of dangerous drugs, including prescriptions for patients residing in Ohio dispensed or sold at retail by nonresident terminal distributors of dangerous drugs as defined in rule 4729:5-8-01 of the Administrative Code, unless the prescription bears a written diagnosis code from the prescriber or a statement indicating its veterinary medical purpose," the state website read.

I think the Lizard People can take HCQ safely.
Unless they're having sex with demons. Then I think it voids my first statement.
