Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) Thread

[Polishprince]

Side effects in some people:
Common hydroxychloroquine side effects may include:

• headache, dizziness, ringing in your ears;
• nausea, vomiting, stomach pain;
• loss of appetite, weight loss;
• mood changes, feeling nervous or irritable;
• skin rash or itching; or.
• hair loss.

Hydroxychloroquine is prescribed for a number of long term problems for extended periods of time. Coronavirus is a short term acute problem, so the chance of side effects would probably be less.

And Fauci is a huge liberal and Hillary worshiper.

Hillary is probably the one telling Fauci to bash the drug when he's on TV.

Hannity has been talking to a real expert, Dr. Mehmet Oz who has no problem with this drug. Oz is one of the foremost medical experts of our time and has appeared on television programs for many years.

He's a fucking quack.

Didn't you know? Oz is one of the foremost medical experts of our time. Never once credibly accused of hawking shit on his tv show under dubious circumstances.

It will be interesting to see how you justify your current posts if hydroxychloroquine slips by the MSM and DNC to become the accepted treatment for covid 19.

What the liberals real problem with hydroxychloroquine is that they are afraid that President Trump will be able to defeat this virus and bring back the employment situation and the markets this summer and fall.

A lot of fucking deaths, and a lot more economic pain is Sleepy Joe's only possible path to power.

Liberals real problem is that the president is selling false hope. Americans can take the hard truth. Most of us have no wish to be bullshitted. This stuff, even if it works as advertised, does nothing to fight the spread of the disease, only the mortality rate. It's not the magic bullet you are all looking for to make this all go away so jackass can claim victory and start having his self-aggrandizing pep rallies again.

Got it.

Thanks.


So your thought is to do whatever can be done to prevent public meetings, at least until Election Day, to help Biden.

Biden , in your view, benefits by staying inside during the campaign with a mask on.

You just can't help making this all about Trump can you? As for me I'll worry about the election later, I seriously don't care at this point. What I care about right now is the river of dangerous misinformation flowing from the right. We have encountered a horrific public health emergency and you people think you can make it go away with the usual bullshit.

You were the one who said your goal was to stop Trump's rallies, and were concerned that this drug might help bring them back.

BTW, if America is still locked down on Election Day, the country will be in sad shape. The goal of ALL Americans should be to bring back the economy and get the people back working ASAP, with all deliberate speed. We don't want the country to become a Shithole , do we?

If the shit works it will get out to people who need it. this is not some doctor show where magic bullet cures abound. I seriously cannot understand why you people can't wait for some kind of real peer-reviewed testing to take place.

How about people will die while waiting?

For all we know it could kill more, especially those who are the most sick. We simply don' know what will happen and it needs to be tested.

If it were Russian roulette like your describing it doctors all around the world wouldn’t be prescribing it, which they are. They put my mom on it without even asking her or the family if they have permission.

My friend/co worker was prescribed it and she had to stop taking it as it was making her feel worse. Both are anecdotal.

what were the negative side effects specifically? Maybe the virus is what made your friend feel worse

Abdominal pain, from my understanding it was excruciating. So the doc told her to stop taking it as it was more or less a crapshoot as to whether there was any benefit.

LOL

It's one of the possibles from taking it.......Might make you get a stomach ache.

Sounded more like retching pain without any benefits why suffering from a high temperature and a complete lack of energy while your body attempts to cough up a lung.

I doubt you are telling the truth here............you are a dishonest poster.....in regards to how people with the virus or even dying from the flu......well that is correct it is brutal.

Now ...my point is that the stomach is a side effect of the drug........got me just a little when i took it way back when.......others.......not so much.

The drug's toxicity levels have been tested for decades and it has been approved by the FDA for use in treating many diseases. The only thing left to test is whether or not it works against the virus. It has shown early promising results. Also, you still need to get a prescription from a doctor. I say let doctors treat their patients as they see fit and stop trying to tie their hands for political reasons.

Yes, the drug is toxic which is why you don't just willy-nilly start prescribing it to the masses and especially not to people as a precaution. As far as any provable benefit their have only been small studies performed on a limited basis with mixed results. Sure, it needs to be tested and hopefully it turns out to be beneficial but there really isn't any proof right now.

I wouldn't want to wait two years for a med to be tested if I were close to my last days.

It's not going to take two years.

It will take far longer. Ain't never going to happen. Lefties and the MSM will NEVER allow a drug that Trump touted in spite of comrade fauci to ever be successful.

I don't believe you when you accuse doctors of prescribing hydroxychloroquine "willy nilly". They have patients that are dying. Most of the "off label" prescriptions have been used for seriously ill patients as a last chance effort to try and save lives after every other available option has failed. I believe that a doctor making a decision whether or not to prescribe hydroxychloroquine to a dying patient is probably about as non-political regarding his decision as you can get.

If I get the Coronavirus, I will listen to my doctor regarding medical advice, not Donald Trump, not Andrew Cuomo, and not some journalist. If I find myself in the ICU with the coronavirus and my doctor wants to prescribe hydroxychloroquine, he should be able to.

Dr. Fauci and other doctors have already stated that if they got the coronavirus, they would consider taking the drug depending on the situation and the advice of the doctor treating them.

Another doctor's opinion. From L.A.

A doctor in Los Angeles is reporting remarkable success in treating COVID-19 patients with a combination of zinc and the Trump-touted anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine.

Dr. Anthony Cardillo, an ER specialist and the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, has been prescribing the combination of drugs to patients experiencing severe symptoms of the disease after contracting the novel coronavirus.

"Every patient I've prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free," Cardillo said in an interview Sunday with KABC-TV.

"So, clinically I am seeing a resolution."

He added that combining the drug with zinc has been the key to success. The hydroxychloroquine, he said, "opens the zinc channel" allowing the zinc to enter the cell, which then "blocks the replication of cellular machinery."
Cardillo was careful to note that the drug should only be prescribed for patients who are extremely sick and in urgent need so as to not blow through the limited supply of the drug, which is used to treat other illnesses, as well.


"We have to be cautious and mindful that we don't prescribe it for patients who have COVID who are well," he said. "It should be reserved for people who are really sick, in the hospital or at home very sick, who need that medication. Otherwise, we're going to blow through our supply for patients that take it regularly for other disease processes."

Dr. Fauci and other doctors have already stated that if they got the coronavirus, they would consider taking the drug depending on the situation and the advice of the doctor treating them.

Even if you aren't in the ICU, if you are in a regular hospital room, or in your doctor's office or an urgent care center, if the doctor feels that hydroxychloroquine will prevent the need to move you to the ICU or be admitted to the hospital, that's fine as well.

From my understanding, this is not a terribly dangerous drug and a lot of people already take it on an outpatient basis. President Trump has gone to the manufacturers who have already cranked up production at Mr. Trump's suggestion so there shouldn't be shortages.

Sure, people lying in the ICU are in more desperate shape, and even a more dangerous drug could be worth trying if the patient is literally on Death's Door.

I say let doctors read the studies as they come in and make up their own minds as to if and when they should prescribe drugs as long as they are not breaking the law.

Not entirely

trump is organizing ppe distribution to the blue states and cities

sending US Navy hospital ships to cities infested with trump haters

and extending the shelter in place advisory 30 more days

but also giving hope that medicines not made in china might help people

[JoeB131]

It is simple. The Democrats do NOT want a quick fix to this. They need it to linger for political purposes. The sheep in this country never understand they are being led to slaughter...literally.

Or we can wait for Trump to keep fucking it up, that would do the trick, too.

Trump wanted to reopen the country by Easter. Imagine how much worse this would be if he got his way.

I've heard many of my peers give their testimony on the news. The shit works.

They are already using it. On some patients in some circumstances it appears to help in some circumstances. They are using many drugs and many treatments (kind of flailing around) . There is NO magic bullet and this ISN'T political

Unfortunately, democrats have chosen to make it political, just like they have chosen to make the entire crisis political, to forward their stupid agenda.

Now we Americans must stop them.
