Turkish company develops Hydroxychloroquine drug: Malaria drug has been successful in the treatment of COVID-19

ANKARA

A Turkish pharmaceutical company said Friday it has developed a generic drug containing hydroxychloroquine sulphate, which doctors have been using to treat COVID-19-related symptoms.

As pharmaceutical companies race to find a cure for the deadly virus globally, Turkish Kocak Farma company official Cem Kocak said that they too are playing their part.

Kocak noted that Turkey actively contributes to global efforts in finding a cure for coronavirus via its domestic companies and said the use of hydroxychlorine-based malaria drug has been successful in the treatment of COVID-19 for the time being.

Underlining that the currently used hydroxychlorine-based drug is from a foreign pharmaceutical company, Kocak said: "We took action to generate a domestic product. We began our journey and our research to not only meet the country's medicine needs but also to contribute to the country's economy."

"As a result of the studies, we have obtained the permit for our product with the active ingredient hydroxychloroquine sulphate used in the treatment of COVID-19," he added.

The permit is applicable to 200 milligrams of tablets.

What is generic medicine?

Generic medicine is a drug that is an alternative to an original drug.

Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients as the original brand products.

Competent physicians already know all about the FDA guidelines.

All those side effects ( e.g. arrythmias ) depend on the patient’s pre-conditions and the dosage. Physicians have known about them for decades.

Nope, that is not the point. Look at it closely

Look at the date.

I am seeing Drs trying to figure out how to prescribe the drug now that they will face new liability.

It is going to be hard to get this drug if you aren’t in the hospital

so for people that cant connect the dots

Pretend you are a Dr that prescribed this medicine and it went sideways. Now read that FDA warning AND the EUA guidelines and think about how your ass will get sued unless you got a comprehensive airtight waiver.

That is,,, if your state allows you to prescribe the medicine to a patient not in the hospital

RE: It is going to be hard to get this drug if you aren’t in the hospital

But Dr. Zelenko, who has used it in hundreds of patients tell us that the intent is to use the HCQ cocktail to keep patients OUT of the hospital.

If you don’t it as it has been successfully used, then I you are taking a risk. It would be like administering a cancer drug at the later stage of the disease.

This is not about whether you should take it or not.

This is about you being able to get it if you aren’t in the hospital.

People here are delusional if they think they can walk into any Dr’s office and get this now. If anyone is around Garland Tx there is a dr who will prescribe AFTER you sign a waiver he had his lawyer draw up

I read that India was the major manufacturer of this drug.

Not only is India far and away the biggest manufacturer in the world, with already 70% of the world’s entire supply, but they are expanding (largely) the number of production sites in India, by approximately sixty.

Soon they will have nearly 100 total.

I think you are seeing a date (May 8th) expressed in DD/MM/YY format.

My computer is currently displaying the date as 09/05/2020.

The article date is 08/05/2020.

no, the date isn’t referencing his article...and you are right about the date...

it is referencing the FDA warning..it’s new..and it’s problematic.

I did see where Ivermectin may be something Drs are willing to go with and even the CDC drs are telling physicians to use it as per anectodotal stories

Chloroquine is not the same as hydroxychloroquine, a newer formulation with less side effects

NUTS! Turkey DID NOT Develop the drug. It’s ancient.

But Turkey says they invented everything.

Erdooo is totally full of crap.

It is new Microsoft crap. You have to hunt down the options menu to fix the problem. It happened with late updates to final Windows 7 “updates”.

It is showing Day/Month/Year

NOT showing Month/Day/Year
