Hi guys, does anyone ever been pressured to use medications that have not been approved for the treatment of COVID? In Brazil, our president has been using Chloroquine as a propaganda e many doctors are been pressured by patients and families to use it. How did you deal with this situation? It can be quite stressful sometime.

I heard rumors about it. So far, we are not pressured here in Germany and guidelines are followed. How is the situation in other countries?
We're definitely not recommending chloroquine in the the UK but sometimes we get patients coming in who think there is already a vaccine or it is about to come out. We have to tell them there isn't anything like that available yet.
We get people in US coming in all the time asking for chloroquine like it's a standard drug for COVID
Here, most of the people are asking for Remdesivir, however we don't see graving for chloroquine.
