Hydroxychloroquine WILL Save US

Did a little more reading on the drug and it makes your blood use oxygen better. Why they use it in malaria and lupus cases.

Medicine is replete with examples of non FDA approved off-label use of drugs
From Brian Joondeph, M.D., a retinal surgeon here in Denver, CO
"Another more recent example comes from my world of retina surgery. An anti-cancer drug, Avastin, was injected into the eyes of a few patients with advanced macular degeneration. These few patients responded well, anecdotally. After this breakthrough was reported at a retina meeting, it almost immediately became the new treatment standard worldwide.

There were no prospective, randomized clinical trials, considered the gold standard, just the anecdotal observation that this off label treatment worked and saved vision. Despite being the most commonly used treatment for macular degeneration, Avastin is still not FDA approved for this indication."

I love the media acting like using a drug for something it wasn't created for is very wrong. Viagra was originally meant for something else, so was Minoxidil. One of my wife's MS medicines was originally used for depression but it works to help her sleep better.

Ditto Trazadone(?).

Perhaps Donald and his kids should volunteer to take it as a demonstration of its safety.

If you mean will they take HCQ/AZ if symptoms indicate, I have no doubt that they would follow their doctors advice, as I would.
That begs the question, would you take HCQ/AZ under the same circumstances?

I should add that if you don't it would be advantageous to add you to the control group.

No, I mean, take a dose on live TV today. Donald says it's safe, so show us.

Koobookie,
Are you advocating that someone take a prescription drug even though the don't have the disease? No MD would write that prescription.
If that was an attempt at humor, BB's cartoon is far better.
