There's lots of drugs/chemicals which have this narrow therapeutic index, nickel is one which is why its not recognised as a supplement and the US refuse to give it a RDA, yet it penetrates the skin and activates epithelial cells, producing cytokines or chemokines, fluoride release nickel from orthodontics causing nickel ions to appear in saliva creating an antibacterial effect by impairing the mitochondria membrane potential which generates lots of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). And you'll find loads of nickel in vegetables and tobacco.
The doctor and pharmacy software should have flagged up all drugs in this narrow therapeutic index for extra caution or temporary withdrawal from use during lockdown and remote consultations.
I've seen no evidence of this temporary withdrawal of drugs taking place anywhere in the world, unless the drug shortage seen with Brexit & EU imports was pre-emptive preparation?
Here in the UK its the pharmacy software which usually flags up the medicines that contradict with existing (repeat) prescriptions, because even NHS doctors prescribe multiple drugs that contradict, but that only works if you go to the same pharmacy.
So I think the family might have an angle of attack in court with it being a drug/chemical with narrow therapeutic index and should have had a physical examination before prescription.
"Hydroxychloroquine has a narrow therapeutic index, meaning there is little difference between toxic and therapeutic doses."
