I hope that people understand these meds are used by sick people for other infections and autoimmune diseases. If you start hoarding them "just in case" then there will be none left for those who need them NOW. Please act responsibly. There will be enough if we all work together.

Let me just clarify that this tweet was NOT a reaction to the US President's recommendations. It came BEFORE he said them, check the time of the tweet. This was in response to the French study which we were concerned would trigger a run on these drugs. I work in the Philippines.

My wife is prescribed Hydroxychloroquine for lupus. We’re super glad it’s gone up 98% in price

Right? I was told by my pharmacist yesterday that there’s no more supply of Plaquenil for those with SLE needing our medication. I cannot get my regular prescription because by presidential order, they have taken over taken the entire supply. What are we supposed to do?
