COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is asking the Ohio Board of Pharmacy to stop a new rule that prohibits the selling or dispensing of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19.
DeWine said in a statement Thursday that prescribing hydroxychloroquine should be decided between a doctor and a patient.

“that prescribing hydroxychloroquine should be decided between a doctor and a patient.”
Whoa! Maybe we’re not ready for something that radical
Common sense? How did that happen?
I don't know but I am feeling a little dizzy.

This is ridiculous that they don’t allow the TREATING DOCTORS to decide if this is appropriate. If it’s so horrible as the media says, no doctor is going to prescribe it.
LOL! Somebody upthread said it may be the “L” word - “Lawsuit.”
I know the pharmacies are the ones I want saying ya or nay on my treatment options......do I really need a sarcasm tag?
Does L = lawsuit?
I think Dewine realized {after a call from Trump} that HCQS works and he better at least become neutral.
Dewine will become a hero if he insists that the health department changes their rules, after they will again balk at his "suggestions".
He is a eunuch, {unix} BUT, he wants to get re-elected and while he still has two years to go, Ohio citizens that have friends/relatives that might die because he wouldn't allow HCQS, have long memories and large megaphones.
What are the Board members’ political affiliations and contribution history?: https://www.pharmacy.ohio.gov/About/Board.aspx
Since when are Pharmacist’s considered Licensed Medical Doctors?
Are they required to Graduate Medical School as well as Pharmacy School?
When hydroxy is given EARLY, it can prevent you from getting the virus and getting symptoms that can lead to death..if you are already in late stage with this virus, nothing will help..hydroxy MUST be given EARLY..but the commie media(Who all have the drug in their medicine cabinet but refuse to say anything good about it because Trump said its good and orange man bad) have allowed THOUSANDS of people to die because of their hatred for this President
Moving to the logical conclusion, a group of Doctors can pool more money to sue the Pharmacists that Pharmacists can pool to sue the Doctors.
Combine that with the obviously superior argument the Doctors will have over the (unknown) argument of the Pharmacists, the Pharmacists best move is to back off and claim they are conceding to the request of the Governor.

take the board to court and prove that HCQ is so deadly that it should not be given in prescription form for anything- make them prove it is more4 dangerous than the myriad of far far more dangerous drugs allowed every day in then country-
then announce a lawsuit for putting people’s lives in danger when they can’t prove that HCQ is too dangerous to be given out to save lives during a pandemic
I think the pharmacy board said no, they are not going to allow it
I heard in the night that there are 43 states that have a ban on HCQ...Ohio was the only state that made the ban public.
Where in the heck did these people get the power to tell doctors how to treat their patients.??
