I took hydroxychloroquine for years for rheumatoid arthritis. Never had any side effects whatsoever. I’m off it now because my RA is apparently in near-remission.

This drug is cheap, safe, and common. If it’s effective in CV19, thanks be to God. I’m high risk for infection and will be watching this closely.

Wow. That’s an impressive list of side effects

Perhaps coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

I read on another post here that tests with chloroquine and a broad spectrum antibiotic caused infected test subjects to test negative for the virus @ six days.

The cost is 5 cents per pill. Today on Carlson’s show, a test of 40 victims in Italy and 100 success rate. Let’s hope and pray for this.

I wish I could find a link to that.

Look at SeekAndFind's post #20 here for the results of a test of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. That green line in the graph is a thing of beauty.

Daily(I think), I was just 19 Years Old and it was a Long Long Time ago! As far as a feeling of unease there were 5500 Guys on the ship and we had been out to Sea(Iran Hostage Thing) so the ENTIRE Ship had a feeling of “unease”.

I’d suggest ramping up production of chloroquine now. I think it has a minimum shelf life of about five years.

It would be more than nice if this really does work. I don’t see how it is unique to this virus and would not work on flu or colds as an antiviral. It became ineffective as an anti malarial when the plasmodium developed a resistance in the late 50s.

I’ve taken Lariam also known as Mefloquine. I had some wild dreams with it.

Gave it up for Gin and Tonic. Much more satisfying. I only started drinking when I started working in the tropics. The best anti malarial is to not get bit by a carrying mosquito. Chewing Day’s Work tobacco all but totally discourages the little beggars from even alighting on you. It also makes you tick proof. It also rots your teeth but you won’t have worms.

Took it for a total of three years. No problems at all.

The problem is these trials take time but that does not mean they should stop of course.

At least this looks hopeful.
