Drug repurposing and chiral switches are part of the secondary pharmaceuticals strategy. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased drug repurposing and this approach suggests combining the two strategies for better results. This combination strategy is not new, but has not been intentional until now. The combination strategy may improve pharmacology, patents, reduce costs, speed up approval times, and increase regulatory exclusivities. The benefits of the combination strategy include superior pharmacology, stronger patents, shorter approval times, and more exclusivity.  Patenting this combination strategy is not considered evergreening, product hopping, or me-too. This perspective calls for a comprehensive search for worldwide-approved racemic drugs to be repurposed and combined with chiral switches.
