Nigerians have expressed shock after a netizen on Twitter shared a pack of Hydroxychloroquine he purchased for N50,000 in a Port Harcourt Pharmacy.
The drug’s price increase came after a Nigerian-trained US-based medical doctor said she has used a combination of hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax to treat over 350 Covid-19 patients and none died.
While her claim has been highly disputed, demand for the drug has skyrocketed and this has made it expensive.
