Some of you may find this of interest ...
Yesterday, I had a fairly long conversation with a friend who happens to be a pharmacist currently employed by Walgreens. I've known this guy for a very long time and he is legit and honest.
He said that their pharmacy has recently been inundated with prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine. He gave two brief examples; 1) 2 scripts presented simultaneously for 17-year old and 16-year old sisters (from 1 doctor) and 2) a 50-year old male who was taking blood pressure meds. These customers had records at Walgreens but nothing that indicated any need for this particular drug.
It has now reached the point that the pharmacists are forced to call the doctors and ask that they provide a clear diagnosis of some approved justification for prescribing this drug (like arthritis or malaria or whatever). They are doing this because their supply of hydroxychloroquine for approved use is now well below the threshold they consider necessary to provide for their existing customers.
