Israeli pharmaceutical giant Teva is set to donate millions of doses of a malaria drug to US hospitals in a bid to meet the demand to investigate the medicine as a potential treatment candidate for COVID-19. The latter is the disease caused by the novel coronavirus known as 2019-nCoV and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Teva said in a statement that it will ship six million tablets of hydroxychloroquine sulfate, an FDA-approved drug for malaria, lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, to hospitals across the country by March 31, and more than 10 million by next month.
