Mylan (+6%) ramps up U.S. production of malaria drug for Covid-19 use

Mylan N.V. (MYL +6%) has restarted production of hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets at its West Virginia facility in order to meet COVID-19-related demand, although it is not formerly approved for this use (currently authorized to treat malaria, lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis).
It is also taking steps to initiate production ex-U.S. in the coming weeks, adding that it expects to begin supplying product by mid-April and has an inventory of the active ingredient to potentially treat more than 1.5M patients.
Related tickers: Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA +8.6%), Amneal Pharmaceuticals (AMRX +18.4%), Novartis (NVS +1.3%), Bayer (OTCPK:BAYRY +2%)
