Dr Noor Hisham: Health Ministry to use hydroxychloroquine more cautiously in Covid-19 trials

“As you may know, it has side effects, which vary from person to person, so there needs to be close monitoring by doctors,” Dr Noor Hisham said during the daily press conference. “So if using the drug to treat a patient induces a longer QT interval in the individual, we will have to stop it or else the heart will fail,” Dr Noor Hisham said, adding the ministry will continue its usage more cautiously than before.
