No. During this time of national suffering and need, our physician group has decided to preserve the supply of these medicines for those who need them for their health. There is limited data suggesting these medicines may help with severe COVID-19, but this data is not sufficient to support prescribing it and will not be prescribed by the physician group at AccoladeCare until a recommendation by the CDC or another authoritative medical organization is issued.
