Unfortunately, I'm one of those people. My last refill ran out last week, and my pharmacist doesn't think I can get a refill anytime soon :-(
Fortunately my condition is not life threatening or severe, but it's something I've been living with for many years, and the HCQ was just finally getting it under control, so it's a bummer that there is so much hoarding going on before we even know if it really works for Covid-19.
Also, it is not a risk free medication. While it's generally safe, my doctor makes me get frequent lab work & a vision test because the side effects can be pretty bad for a small minority of people.
