Turkey has made significant progress in treating coronavirus patients in the early stages of the disease with the controversial malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, Turkish officials have said.
Turkey had stockpiled one million units of them before the first case appeared in the country, Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said on Tuesday evening in a live broadcast, without specifying the name of the drug.
A senior Turkish official with knowledge of the stockpile told Middle East Eye that the drug was hydroxychloroquine and that it was being sold under the brand name Plaquenil.
Many countries prescribe this drug to intubated patients, Koca said. However, our science board suggested that the drug is really beneficial in the early stages to prevent the spread of the virus in the body.
The health minister reminded viewers that one of the fundamental features of the disease was lung infection.
The American MSM approach to label anything they don't like as "controversial" has spread and mutated across the globe. Now some Middle East rag is using it.
