A government decree bans the export of the active ingredient while Hungary is under a state of emergency.
"As Hungary is one of the worldʼs biggest exporters of this active ingredient, the protection of the Hungarian public and ensuring their supply of medicines now comes first," the center said.
Drugs with the active ingredient hydroxychloroquine sulfate made by Teva and Sanofi are used to treat malaria, arthritis, and lupus.
