Hydroxychloroquine has been studied for the treatment and prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The clinical study information available at this time does not support the use of hydroxychloroquine for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19. Several hydroxychloroquine clinical studies were unable to find improvements in the treatment of COVID-19, such as to shorten the hospital stay, to lessen the length or severity of the illness, or to reduce the number of deaths. There also are concerns about the possible side effects, such as an irregular heartbeat, and drug interactions that may occur from taking hydroxychloroquine.
Of note, the FDA had approved an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) on March 28, 2020 to allow hydroxychloroquine to treat adults and adolescents who weigh at least 110 pounds (50 kg) and who are hospitalized with COVID-19, but who are unable to participate in a clinical study. However, this recommendation was canceled on June 15, 2020 because clinical studies have not found that the use of hydroxychloroquine has shown substantial benefits for treatment of COVID-19 compared to the risk of potential side effects.
Hydroxychloroquine should ONLY be taken under the direction of a doctor in a clinical study. Do not buy this medication online without a prescription. If you experience irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting while taking hydroxychloroquine, call 911 for emergency medical treatment. If you have other side effects, be sure to tell your doctor.
