UK bans parallel export and hoarding of three Covid-19 drugs
By GlobalData Healthcare SHARE The UK government has banned the parallel export and “hoarding” of three drugs being used to treat coronavirus patients in China in anticipation of shortages in Britain following the Covid-19 pandemic.
The export of the US-based AbbVie’s Kaletra / Aluvia, a combination lopinavir and ritonavir, the generic drug chloroquine phosphate and the generic drug hydroxychloroquine is being restricted to meet the needs of UK patients, the government said.
Hydroxychloroquine was placed on the restricted list from 14 March and Kaletra and chloroquine phosphate were added on 26 February.

Why the dunning and shunning? If the women in reasonable shoes on this bbs had any creativity we wouldn't be in a jam with Covid.
Is wilsonpaige so different in this regard from Elon Musk? Musk posts re quinone and is praised and his ideas spread. Wilsonpaige at first doubts the quinone solution, then within hours finds confirming studies, adds to it his experience with zinc antivirals and comes up with a better solution (albeit one w/o an underlying mechanism). Now you've torn his posts up and thrown them away.
Shame!
"Dr. Badu Sarkodie, the Director of Public Health, Ghana Health Service (GHS), says they have no evidence that Chloroquine Phosphate 250mg is an effective treatment of the flu-like coronavirus (COVID-19).
He was reacting to claims on social media that Chloroquine Phosphate 250mg had been found by French and Chinese doctors to be effective for treatment of the virus.
Dr. Sarkodie in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) said although the claim sounded promising, the GHS had not had any efficacy clinical trial to confirm that.
They could therefore not make any recommendation for the use of the drug to treat the virus.
"I cannot dispute the claim so the person saying this should provide more information because we have not sighted any publication to this effect," he added."
