CANFIELD, Ohio (WKBN) – State Representative Al Cutrona of Canfield is sponsoring a bill to stop a state ban on the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19.  

This bill would prohibit the Ohio Pharmaceutical Board from preventing the prescription or use of approved medications prescribed by a licensed physician.Ohio Board of Pharmacy backs down on ban of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 treatment

While the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy rescinded its decision on the ban after a request by Gov. Mike DeWine to reexamine the policy, Cutrona says it’s still an issue that needs to be addressed moving forward.

Hydroxychloroquine is an arthritis drug that is also used to prevent malaria. However, some doctors have prescribed the drug to prevent worsening symptoms of COVID-19.

A Judge Stands up to a Hospital: “Step Aside” and Give a Dying Man Ivermectin

The judge’s finest moment may have been when he dashed the most glaring myth about ivermectin—that it is not safe, despite decades of use that shows otherwise. Noting that all drugs have side effects, Judge Fullerton listed ivermectin’s effects from a government website.
“(N)umber one, generally well tolerated; number two, dizziness; number three, pruritus; number four, nausea/diarrhea. These are the side effects for the dosage that’s being asked to be administered,” he said. “The risks of these side effects are so minimal that Mr. Ng’s current situation outweighs that risk by one-hundredfold.”
