I believe Dr. Anthony Fauci. Hydroxy is a drug prescribed for malaria and lupus. It is not prescribed for COVID-19 because the risks outweigh the benefits. Side effects include heart arrhythmia and liver failure. This is not a risk that I am willing to take.

I’m with you, I’m going to email my doctor and ask about that and an Asthma medicine. I heard a doctor from Texas said it works, but he has no press, he seemed very legitimate.

How many doctors around have been report to Medicare for fraud. Not to long on this page someone was charged over $1000 for COVID testing.
So no do not trust your doctor do your own research and if they are not willing to discuss it with you find a new doctor.

I trust the doctors that we have in Florida as much as I trusted the doctors I had before moving to Florida

There's not a lot a doctor can do when the issue is plainly old age related...no fix for that anywhere....unless you can find that fountain of youth

The science is showing more and more that it does have some therapeutic value in treating the symptoms of Covid.

There is no money to be made with hydroxychloroquine. Dr. Ivette Lozano was ghosted months ago for telling of the benefits for her patients.

Maybe he went to a doctor who would prescribe it.

I’m scratching my head........if they feel it helps hospitalized patients with the virus, why won’t it help those with early symptoms? I’m not on board with her beliefs......
Maybe you should look for another doctor.

Utter nonsense. If your not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

I have heard of several doctors treating early Covid patients with Hydrochloroquin (with Zinc and Azithromycin) and also using it prophylactically to prevent Covid with much success. However the pharmacies are reluctant to even fill the prescriptions and the doctors are given a hard time by their board (AMA). Thus many doctors are not willing to prescribe it. It's a sad situation.

I would trust Dr Fauci.

I have some swamp land in Florida that I want to sell you.

Drs
 
When you have Drs making YouTube videos and making statements “Doctor Believes in Alien DNA, Demon Sperm, and Hydroxychloroquine” its time to THINK that they are QUACKS! Listen to the other quotes “I don’t know her but she’s a very good Doctor”!

I said “if I asked for Hydroxychloroquine would you prescribe it” and she said no.

Hydroxychloroquine has long history with treating malaria with Great results no fatalities. It’s my body, and it’s what I choose to counteract Covid. I was disappointed to hear she would not prescribe this medication.

Have any of you asked your physicians if they would prescribe this, God forbid we get Covid? I would think this would be high on the priority list for us seniors who would like this medications.

Thank you for your input.

Medical studies continue to show no benefit from Hydroxychloroquine, either for Covid prophylaxis or treatment. Individuals, especially the elder. can die from cardiac arrhythmias due to this drug. I am an MD, and would not prescribe Hydroxychloroquine for Covid.

Why would anyone take this, it does not work!
