Coronavirus: UK health workers in trial to test effectiveness of Trump's hydroxychloroquine

There have also been concerns raised in the US that the millions of people there who rely on it for treatment of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis could face more shortages because of an inevitable surge in demand for the drugs.The UK government has said chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are not licensed to treat or prevent COVID-19 and that the drugs should not be used outside clinical trials.

Prof Martin Llewelyn of Brighton and Sussex School, lead UK investigator for the MORU trial, said:"If drugs as well tolerated as chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine could reduce the chances of catching COVID-19 this would be incredibly valuable." He added:"Like all drugs, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have side effects. But actually, used in the sort of doses that we will use them in the COPCOV trial, they're expected to be really, very safe."

Any adult who works in a UK healthcare facility and is delivering direct care to patients with proven or suspected COVID-19 can participate, as long as they have not been diagnosed with COVID-19 or an acute respiratory infection.

More money going to Trump Family Trust.

The chances that Chloroquine prevents Covid infection is remote. Frankly if Trump wasn't hyping it no one would bother studying it. It's an absurd long shot.

Wouldn’t hate it if realDonaldTrump was right about this drug that could save millions

BTW India has been giving HCQ to it's health workers and police for the last 2 months .. UK slow to react - how many people died in the UK because BorisJohnson and MattHancock are useless?

Must have really hurt writing this article ? Not only should you lot be ashamed but you should be in jail. People are waking up to what you are doing.

It's supposed to be use with Zinc - even Donald Trump knows that - loss of smell and taste is a sign the body has run out of Zinc - HCQ opens up the cells so Zinc can go in and kill the virus - plus hydroxychloroquine is 40% LESS Toxic than chloroquine

It's not just Hydroxychloroquine, it have to be administered early with Azithromycin and Zinc.
