US regulators have revoked emergency authorisation for malaria drugs promoted by Donald Trump for treating Covid-19 amid growing evidence they do not work and could cause serious side effects.

The move means that shipments of the drugs obtained by the federal government will no longer be distributed to state and local health authorities for use against coronavirus. The drugs are still available for other uses, so doctors could still prescribe them for Covid-19 — a practice known as off-label prescribing.
