Pharmacist: ‘Unscrupulous’ doctors tried to stockpile drug

GRAND RAPIDS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A West Michigan pharmacist wants Michigan’s governor to ban drug hoarding amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

“People are scared,” said Dave Miller, co-owner and chief formulation scientist at Keystone Pharmacy on Cascade Road in Grand Rapids Township.

Miller is particularly concerned about efforts to stockpile Hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria drug that’s shown very early untested potential as a treatment for COVID-19.

“When this news came out, people went crazy and started trying to hoard the drug,” explained Miller in an interview Monday.
