Hydroxychloroquine
We all have our views on this medication to treat Covid. I am a believer that It can help with Covid symptoms. With that said, I went to my primary care Dr. today for a physical. We got into a Covid discussion and I asked her if I was symptomatic with Covid, would she prescribe Hydroxychloroquine. Her answer was no. 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. |

Who do you trust
Doctors and scientists are more knowledgeable on these matters than elected officials.
Trust the advice of your doctors. |

Maybe it's because of supply and demand and they have to keep the supplies available for the people who have the diseases that require taking it were being depleted. There are several autoimmune diseases that require taking multiple doses a day besides taking it for malaria. I, for one, take it twice a day for scleroderma and have for 10 years.

I wonder if the OP asked her physician if she would not prescribe it in general to anyone or to her on account of her personal health conditions. As far as I am concerned it is a gray area; some physicians may prescribe it at times, perhaps depending upon how the Chinese virus is affecting a particular patient. It is not a one size fits all situation.

There are a number of eminent doctors saying that this drug is effective in treating and preventing Covid19. So which doctors do you listen to?

“When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective,” Risch explained. “Especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.” Earlier this month, a large peer-reviewed study found that hydroxychloroquine cut the mortality rate of COVID-19 by more than half and, contrary to previous claims by faulty studies, had no adverse effects on the heart.

For the record....I take no medications, not overweight and have no health conditions that would prevent me from taking the drug. I have a 100% clean bill of health.

And if it’s not effective, then why did Chris Cuomo take it? Why are the politicians able to get it? Something stinks here.....

You absolutely have the right to take it. And your doctor absolutely has the right not to prescribe it. All you have to do is find one who will.

Also, you don't have the "right" to take ANY prescription medicine. Drugs are not covered by the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. Lighten up on the hyperbole. |
