Hydroxychloroquine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1955. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system.[5] In 2017, it was the 128th-most-prescribed medication in the United States, with more than five million prescriptions.

Not only effective and safe but also shortens the "viral shedding" time so that promotes less transmission. I would absolutely use this drug.
