UPDATE: In many case reports, clinicians have used ZINC (Zinc sulfate 220mg once daily for 5 days) along with HCQ and they have found good results with the combination.
Hi guys. Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are oral prescription drugs that have been used for treatment of malaria and certain inflammatory conditions. Nowadays there are case reports or trials suggesting the use of Chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with Azithromycin
In this video, we will talk about when & how to use, side effects, dosing and various studies on these medications in COVID 19 or SARS COV2. Do watch the video till the end.
Recently randomized study from China in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 found no difference in recovery rates.
These drugs should be used only for:
1. treatment of COVID 19 positive patients
2. as prophylaxis for Asymptomatic healthcare workers involved in the care of suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 and also for Asymptomatic household contacts of laboratory-confirmed cases
Physicians should educate themselves about the strength of available data regarding HCQ and CQ in treating COVID-19. They should avoid misuse of HCQ and CQ for the prophylaxis of COVID-19, because there are absolutely no data to support this.
Recently there have been reports of the use of ivermectin an antiparasitic agent in the treatment of COVID-19. It's not proven yet. I will come up with a new video if any update in the treatment or management comes. Till then take very good care of yourself and our loved ones, take appropriate precautions, like good hand washing, refrain yourself from going to market places or crowded places.
In many case reports, clinicians have used ZINC (Zinc sulfate 220mg once daily for 5 days) along with HCQ and they have found good results with the combination.
Thank you guys for watching this video. Stay healthy and safe.
