re: Utah Department of Commerce prohibits Doctors from prescribing Hydroxychloroquine

quote:

---

No prescription or medical order for hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine should be dispensed by a
pharmacist for a COVID-19 diagnosis unless all the following apply:
1. The prescription bears a written diagnosis from the prescriber consistent with the evidence for its
use.
2. The diagnosis has been confirmed by a positive test result which is documented on the
prescription or medical order.
3. The prescription is limited to no more than a seven (7) day supply.
4. No refills may be permitted unless a new prescription or medical order is furnished.

Given that it takes time to get test results, and that the effectiveness of the Hydroxychloriquine seems to be tied to how early you begin taking it, this order will have a very material negative consequence.
