FDA withdraws emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has withdrawn the emergency use authorization for two controversial coronavirus treatment drugs promoted by President Trump because of serious safety issues.
The agency said recent clinical trial failures mean chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine may not be effective to treat COVID-19 and that their potential benefits do not outweigh the risks.
Doctors have warned that the drugs can cause serious heart problems, but the FDA had previously allowed their use in hospitals and during clinical trials.
Trump spent weeks promoting the drugs as a potential miracle treatment for COVID-19, despite scant evidence. Under pressure, the FDA in March granted emergency use authorization.

In March, Trump said hydroxychloroquine used in combination with the antibiotic azithromycin had “a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine”, with little evidence to back up that claim.
