Daily would be more a treatment dosage, and might include Zinc?
“shouldn’t the dosage be once / week?”
—
Might be easier to manage and monitor smaller daily dosages than one big weekly one.
So tell us exactly what he is taking....
YES!!!!
HAHA!!!
This is going to drive the Left wing media and the Quack Bill Gates crazy!
Nothing can server as better example than the U.S. President in the White House.
Haha!
Pharmacokinetics: Following a single 200 mg oral dose of PLAQUENIL to healthy males, the mean peak blood concentration of hydroxychloroquine was 129.6 ng/mL, reached in 3.26 hours with a half-life of 537 hours (22.4 days).
He could be taking 20mg’s a day. That would be a tiny very easy to swallow pill.
President Trump is taking HCQ as a preventative. His doctor is probably giving him a small Rx.
What an in-your-face to “Dr.” Garden Gnome.
Probably given the amount of people around him in any one day, its okay.
I mean its daily or twice daily for covid folks, so taking it at this dose once a day would be what he’d need if he actually got it, to knock it down fast before it took a foothold.
I just heard on my radio app (CNN owned) a short where the journo was utterly verklempt in his tone that our Pres was taking HC.
My aunt’s niece has lupus she has been taking Hydroxy for a very long time, has 4 healthy boys, drug is absolutely harmless..this drug along with zinc is VERY beneficial in preventing the virus, I called this a month ago I knew he was taking it, it was obvious, countless exposures to people who have had the virus, I think the last straw was the Valet driver, the one who tested positive the next day, I think that is when he decided to just take the drug for prevention

Actually some people need to take HCQ daily at the onset of a prophylaxis regime post exposure.
” To maintain weekly troughs above EC50 in >50% of subjects at steady state in a pre-exposure prophylaxis setting, an 800 mg loading dose followed by 400 mg twice or three times weekly is required. In an exposure driven post-exposure prophylaxis setting, 800 mg loading dose followed in 6 hours by 600 mg, then 600 mg daily for 4 more days achieved daily troughs above EC50 in >50% subjects.”
My son has been taking Plaquenil twice a day for several years for his RA.
Mayo Clinic dosage recommendations. It can be taken everyday. Trump said he takes zinc too.

“Drumph swallowed a condom hurr durr!”
President Trump referenced a doctors letter that he had received just prior to making the decision to take HQL. The doctors letter was instrumental to Trumps decision.
He said he was going to make it available to the press.
Anybody have a link to that letter?
Even if the drug were only 20% effective, it is not harmful; and 20% is better than 0% when you have the disease.
The prophylaxis clinical trial in Detroit is comparing daily, weekly, and placebo. Here are the dosages they’re using for that.
Though I don’t think the drug is harmful for most patients, I can see why the FDA won’t immediately sign off on the HDQ cocktail. There are a lot of anecdotal cases out there where it appears to work, along with some independent real time studies by doctors. But, back before the HCQ cocktail became widely used, my daughter, who is an isolation nurse in a nursing home, had many covid cases. She lost some, but some of them who were critically ill just seemed to come right out of it without doing anything else but treat the symptoms.
But, I say if the drug isn’t harmful to you, then take it.
