On Wednesday, the government repealed the derogation provisions authorizing the prescription of hydroxychloroquine against Covid-19 in hospital in France, excluding clinical trials, following an unfavourable opinion of the High Council of Public Health, according to a decree in the Official Journal.
Since the end of March, hydroxychloroquine, a drug derived from the antimalarial drug chloroquine, could be prescribed as a derogation at the hospital and only for patients with severe illnesses, at the collegial decision of the doctors.
