The decision came after the National Task Force (NTF) for COVID-19 constituted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) reviewed the use of HCQ for prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection for high-risk population based on the emerging evidence on its safety and efficacy.

800mg to start, 400mg a week, don’t take it if you have heart problems or some other issues, basically.
Stupid Indians.
Don’t they know that Orange Man has been promoting Hydroxychloroquine? And since Orange Man Bad, Hydroxychloroquine is bad bad bad.
I don’t understand. Why would the Indian government want to kill all its healthcare workers? After all, Neil Cavuto said the drug would kill you. Not might kill you. Not could kill you. Just flat out kill you.
Prophylactic? The Orange man promoted it as a treatment and that was wrong. Wrong! He lied.
This is going to be all over the front page of the New York Times and CNN. Or maybe not.
WHO says don’t do it.
