Michigan reverses course, requests anti-malarial drugs from feds to treat coronavirus | Just The News

The state of Michigan is trying to obtain hydroxychloroquine sulfate and chloroquine phosphate malaria drugs showing early promise in treating coronavirus patients after issuing a letter last week warning about improperly prescribing or dispensing the medications.

The state wants the drugs from the Strategic National Stockpile. The request follows the Department of Health and Human Services announcement that it accepted donations of the two drugs into the stockpile and the Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization permitting those donations to be utilized to treat people with COVID-19.

I really don’t understand what is going on here. But it’s good for Michigan.
