Physicians Sue FDA To End “Arbitrary” Restrictions On Hydroxychloroquine

WASHINGTON, DC: A group of conservative US doctors has sued the Food and Drug Administration for limiting use of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19, arguing that the therapy should be made widely available to fight the pandemic.

The lawsuit represents the latest front in a highly politicised US debate over access to hydroxychloroquine. The drug has been championed by President Donald Trump as a potential "game-changer" against the coronavirus, but its value has yet to be established. 
A clinical trial released on Wednesday found it to be ineffective in preventing infection.
