US President Donald Trump promoted a combination hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, and azithromycin, an antibiotic, as a potential treatment for COVID-19. However, there is absolutely no reason to take any drug right now because NONE of these drugs have been approved by any health authority. A small study published in the Journal of Zhejiang University, China found no evidence that hydroxychloroquine alone was more effective for patients hospitalized with the novel coronavirus than standard care.
In fact, people have started dying due to using chloroquine phosphate, an additive used to kill fish tanks because the names sounded similar.
While drug testing is going on globally, there is NO REAL DATA that any drug is effective against COVID19.
