Cuomo: Use of antimalarial drug in New York hospitals 'anecdotally' positive

it was FDA approved years ago......safe for human consumption......

The stupid mofo doesn't realise that Plaquenil is a generic drug, I doubt if the dopey old trollope even knows what a generic is anyway! Chloroquine has been around since the forties and hydroxychloriquine since the fifties!!

Hydroxychloroquine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1955.[2] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system.[6] In 2017, it was the 128th-most-prescribed medication in the United States, with more than five million prescriptions.[7]

Can rightys understand that some unproven anecdotes are meaningless in the science and statistics? These are so weak that they present no data. If they thought it actually might work,they would have to install double-blind studies. They would have to collect the patient's data and analyze it in respect to a non-flu drug with spurious claims. This is just ridiculous. They would have to compare and contest the results of people who took it and people who did not. Hydroxy is a waste of time that is only news because Trump claimed it works. He did that with zero knowledge. He was grasping for some cure after saying a vaccine was coming out soon. That lie was hurting him. So he grabbed when this came by.
 
It has never been approved for Covid19 you idiot

Seriously shut the fuck up you wizened old twat!!

FDA Approves Emergency Use of Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine to Treat COVID-1
The agency concludes that the possible benefits outweigh the risks


Anecdotal evidence has suggested that the anti-malaria drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine may be effective therapies for the coronavirus infections that are the cause of COVID-19. (Other data have questioned their efficacy as COVID-19 therapies.) President Donald Trump touted chloroquine as a treatment for the disease during a press conference on March 19. At that same press conference, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Stephen Hahn observed, "That's a drug that the president has directed us to take a closer look at as to whether an expanded use approach to that could be done and to actually see if that benefits patients."

The agency has evidently taken a closer look and has issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for both compounds as experimental treatments for COVID-19. The EUA notes:

Based on the totality of scientific evidence available to FDA, it is reasonable to believe that chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate may be effective in treating COVID-19, and that, when used under the conditions described in this authorization, the known and potential benefits of chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate when used to treat COVID-19 outweigh the known and potential risks of such products.

Health care providers are authorized to use the compounds to treat hospitalized adolescent and adult COVID-19 patients weighing more than 110 pounds for whom no clinical trial is available or feasible. The recommended treatment regimen for hydroxychloroquine is 800 milligrams on the first day followed by 400 milligrams daily for four to seven days of total treatment based on clinical evaluation. The recommended treatment using chloroquine is 1 gram of the compound on day one, followed by 500 milligrams daily for four to seven days of total treatment based on clinical evaluation.

Health care providers must watch for side effects and are required to report how their patients fare to the FDA.

Ongoing clinical trials along with these EUA treatments should fairly quickly determine whether these compounds will work against the disease. Let's hope they do.

why does the left continuously object to using hydrxychloroquine???

Hannity tonight had a 'DR. Wallace" who was getting excellent results with combining it with zinc.
The hydrxychloroquine acts to open up the cell membrane and allows the zinc to interact with the virus

But Trump lol.

It's overtly political, anything that Trump says boils their piss and this more than most. They are nearly all women as well, notably Florida Gran, Joan of Snark, Doris, CINNIcal BARstard and Loony Central.

same on my FB group, although some of them I've known online back since the Bill Maher board.

I'm glad I left modern liberalism.
they are essentially supporting the virus and the demise of the American economy, if it rids them of Trump

Well, there’s the mechanism.

The drug breaks down the cell wall and the zinc jacks up the virus’s genome or whatever. I wonder if it’s actually been tested in a lab or it’s just a theory?

If not, someone should get busy.

It was the lead story on Hannity. successful uses. I missed the details
I was thinking of searching zinc and hydox( ) use for treatment. feel free to search for us doc.

Couldn’t find anything on the zinc mechanism. But they’ve done studies on the use of chloroquine against some cancers: chloroquine makes some cancer cells more susceptible to radiation and other cancer treatments. Probably through weakening the cell wall or membrane of the cancer cells.

But I did find the details of the France study on chloroquine vs COVID:

At the onset of treatment, the patients fell into three groups based on clinical presentation: asymptomatic, and upper or lower respiratory tract infections. Some patients were also administered azithromycin to prevent bacterial superinfection.

Upon study completion, twenty patients had received treatment and 16 were untreated controls. By day 6 of the study, 70% of treated patients no longer harbored virus as determined by RT-PCR, compared with 12.5% of controls. The combination of hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin was more effective at clearing virus than hydroxychloroquine alone.

The authors write that “For ethical reasons and because our first results are so significant and evident we decide to share our findings with the medical community, given the urgent need for an effective drug against SARS-CoV-2 in the current pandemic context.”

____________________

It talks of a decrease in ‘viral load’ with the use of chloroquine. One of the reasons I’m maybe more relaxed than some people about being in stores or whatever is that I understand viral load. You’re very likely *not* going to be infected if 25 COVID’s land in your nasopharyngeal area. Droplets, yeah. A single droplet can contain millions of viruses. It’s a numbers game.

If people aren’t sneezing or coughing around you and you use the six foot rule there’s very little to worry about. The greater risk in contact: don’t touch what isn’t necessary when you’re out. Get back in the car use some wipes on your hands. Don’t touch your face until you get home and wash your hands.

Do all of that, and you should be good.

Look at you last post, cuntie. You agreed that it wasn't approved. Get you fucking head in order
