India lifts export ban on hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malarial drug touted by President Donald Trump as a potential 'game changer' in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic
BENGALURU - India has lifted an export ban on hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malarial drug touted by U.S. President Donald Trump as a potential “game changer” in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, a minister said late on Wednesday.
"Department of Pharmaceuticals has approved the lifting of ban on Export of Hydroxychloroquine API as well as formulations," India's minister for chemicals and fertilizers, Sadananda Gowda, saidManufacturers, except export-oriented units and those in special economic zones, would still have to supply 20% of their production to the domestic market, Gowda said.
But India eased some of these restrictions in April and shipped 50 million tablets of the drug to the United States that month, Reuters reported. British scientists last week halted a major trial after it found that the drug was “useless” at treating COVID-19 patients.
