India has lifted its export ban on hydroxychloroquine, the drug that US President, Donald Trump, called a “game-changer” in the fight against Covid-19.

India’s minister for chemicals and fertilisers tweeted the news on Wednesday night.

Hydroxychloroquine is very similar to chloroquine, one of the oldest and best-known anti-malarial drugs.

But the drug has also attracted attention over the past few decades as a potential antiviral agent.

Trump has repeatedly touted the drug as a possible cure for Covid-19, despite a lack of proof and reservations from medical experts.

India, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of hydroxychloroquine, banned exports in March when its lockdown disrupted supply chains. However, the country did ease some restrictions and shipped 50 million tablets of the drug to the US in April, Reuters reported.
