Used within normal levels it presents no problems like most other drugs. Was over the counter (i.e. non-prescription) so like asprin, or paracetomol, safe if not abused.

A-Series Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hydroxychloroquine should only be prescribed under expert advice, it can cause retina damage for example, current guidelines recommend monitoring at regular intervals. I would recommend reading reliable sources such as the BNF https://bnf.nice.org.uk/drug/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Ruler Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hydroxychloroquine can make other illnesses worse, the main one being Trump Derangement Syndrome. Plenty of people take it for Lupus and other diseases, are they saying it’s only dangerous for Covid sufferers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Series Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 It's more to do with do the benefits outweigh the risks? like any drug. I have been involved with clinical trials of various drugs for covid at the NHS trust I work for, and we are all trying very hard to find a solution, it's far from straight forward.

I'm surprised all the medical educated people on here did not "accuse" you already to be sponsored by Big Pharma! Thanks for posting and for the hard work you're doing.

To die or not to die - Covid? I think that the risk might tip in favour 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting and for the hard work you're doing. Thank you for your kind words, public support really keeps up our morale. As to sponsored, we were not even allowed to take a tin of chocolates from a pharmaceutical wholesaler at Christmas for fear of accusations of bribery!

I think that the risk might tip in favour 😳 I understand, but if you are healthy, with no underlying conditions or other risk factors then you are very likely to recover, so intervention with an unlicensed treatment becomes a risk We are using many drugs that vary from the basic and well known such as the steroid dexamethasone, to the more modern monoclonal antibody treatments. Hydroxychloroquine may very well be useful, but we need to see repeatable, testable evidence. We will get there I'm sure, we have to, I need to get back shooting!
