Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe US has approved the anti-malarial drug chloroquine for use as a treatment against the new coronavirus, US President Donald Trump says.
“We’re going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately, and that’s where the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has been so great,” Trump tells reporters.
“They’ve gone through the approval process — it’s been approved. They took it down from many, many months to immediate. So we’re going to be able to make that drug available by prescription.”
