Ration doses of COVID drug Tocilizumab due to shortage, Ontario science table recommends

Published Thursday, April 8, 2021 6:52PM EDT TORONTO - An expert group is recommending Ontario clinicians ration doses of a drug used to treat COVID-19 as a supply shortage coincides with a third wave of infections that s sending more patients into intensive care. The scientists advising the province on the pandemic published revised clinical guidelines this week reflecting the shortage of tocilizumab, an anti-inflammatory drug approved in Canada to treat arthritis. A March report from the group found the drug reduced COVID-19 patients need for mechanical ventilation and improved chances of survival. The COVID-19 science advisory table recommends the drug for critically and moderately ill patients and previously said a second dose could be considered after 24 hours if a patient didn t improve. This week, its guidance was updated to recommend a fixed dose of 400 milligrams per patient and no second dose.

A memo was sent to hospitals Thursday night telling them to postpone their non-emergency surgeries, effective Monday, everywhere but in northern Ontario.  Given increasing case counts and widespread community transmission across many parts of the province, we are facing mounting and extreme pressure on our critical care capacity, says Ontario Health CEO Matthew Anderson in the memo, obtained by CBC News.
