Given that there is no evidence, and certainly no FDA approval, for hydroxychloroquine to be used as a preventative medication for COVID-19 and a lack of evidence that it is an effective treatment, could doctors/PAs/NPs lose their license/certification for prescribing it incorrectly?
Inappropriate prescribing is something which can certainly cause you to lose your license. But, this sort of board action would most likely start as part of a malpractice suit to gain the board’s attention for potential disciplinary action.
