I literally just googled it. Read around for people's experiences ordering. Picked one to try. Same way you'd find info about anything you're looking to buy on the internet. They delivered and the meds were clearly effective, been using the same place for a decade now. I've also tried a couple others over the years when looking for something my main site didn't carry. Never been burned.

That's strange.

It's perhaps worth noting that the two main points made in the two separate articles - that roughly 200 million doses will be available at some indeterminate future date including 130 million from Novartis if hydroxychloroquine is approved for treatment of COVID 19, and that the currently unfounded hype surrounding hydroxychloroquine has caused an immediate problem for some currently prescribed patients and four out of eight licensed manufacturers are in shortage - are not at all contradictory. I would not want to be one of the patients currently dependent on that drug right now.

I do appreciate your pointing out to another poster that they shouldn't acquire it without a prescription and a real need. I would think what was said might be a clue to you that the shortage the NY Times was talking about is more than plausible. People are not (forgive me for stating the obvious) fully rational or thoughtful of their fellow man when making their purchases lately.
