A fishing & hunting buddy of mine had inquired with his doctor about Viagra and was told by the doc he wouldn't prescribe as he was on blood pressure meds. His doc retired not to long ago and his new doc said its was safe for him to take. Just use in moderation and watch your blood pressure. He was very skeptical and a bit confused about trying he say's, but he also said he's always been a pro choice advocate and he used that reasoning to decide to experiment. He's still alive after about 2 months.

Yeah, but the bigger question is, is he getting laid regularly? :bgrin:

Except it does, since the drug can only be prescribed by a physician. Now that the White House Physician would be the doctor prescribing the drug, and his public statement that “we concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweigh the risk.” It’s safe to say, he did prescribe the medicine to Trump.

It's hard to tell the President of the United States 'NO' when he insists on something.
I've learned that the drug can give people heart arrhythmia which can andand has no discernible efficacy in treating Covid-19. People can die from it so I just can't see the doctor saying "Yeah, that's a great idea!"

I wonder if firing Dr. Bright had anything to do with that change of stance. It's not wise to cross Trump.

Wisconsin woman says she got coronavirus despite taking hydroxychloroquine for years
President Trump has frequently touted the drug as a potential prophylactic for the virus. This week, the president said that he has been taking it in combination with a zinc supplement as a preventative measure.
she said. “I’m like, ‘How can I be sick? How? I’m on the hydroxychloroquine.’ They were like, ‘Well, nobody’s ever said that was the cure or that was going to keep you safe’ and it definitely did not.”
 
If hydroxychloroquine doesn't work, then it's hydroxychloroquine's fault. We need to put the blame where it belongs!

It's bad enough that he claims he is taking HCQ, but actually pushing others to take it is just galactically stupid.

It makes no sense that he's pushing this drug. I could understand if it had significant evidence that it works, but it doesn't. If anything, it has significant evidence it's really not safe to take.

VA gave hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 to 1,300 veterans
In addition to treating approximately 1,300 veterans with hydroxychloroquine for the coronavirus, the VA has also prescribed the medication to approximately 7,500 for non COVID-19 conditions since the start of the pandemic.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency said Friday it has sent out 14.4 million doses of hydroxychloroquine to 14 cities, including Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Baltimore, from the federal government’s national stockpile, a source that also provided South Dakota and California with supplies. The agency said earlier this month it had sent 19 million tablets and didn’t explain the discrepancy between the two figures. The U.S. government received a donation of 30 million doses from Swiss drugmaker Novartis on March 29 to build up the stockpile, which does not normally stock the drug.
Wilkie, in a separate letter obtained by NBC News, said that the VA had made the drug available pursuant to FDA guidelines “because some of our Veterans and families are requesting the use of hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment."

this is surely an example of the presidents influence concerning unsubstantiated benefits without regards to its potentially detrimental effects. in times past the one touting the product would be labeled a 'snake oil salesman".

FDA revokes authorization of drug Trump touted

The Food and Drug Administration has revoked its emergency use authorization for the drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine for the treatment of Covid-19.

Hydroxychloroquine was frequently touted by President Donald Trump, and he has claimed to have used it himself.
After reviewing the current research available on the drugs, the FDA determined that the drugs do not meet "the statutory criteria" for emergency use authorization as they are unlikely to be effective in treating Covid-19 based on the latest scientific evidence, the agency noted on its website on Monday.

One of my Alabama aunts takes it for her arthritis. I presume she'll be able to continue it for that purpose. I had to tell her about taking an EKG for her heart on a periodic basis.
