6,200 Doctors Approve Chloroquine As ‘Most Effective’ Treatment For Coronavirus

Posted by E.L.E.X on April 03 2020 under News

The malaria drug hydroxychloroquine is the best coronavirus drug currently available, according to an international poll of thousands of doctors.

Of 6,200 physicians surveyed from 30 countries, the majority (37 percent) said it was the ‘most effective therapy’ for the virus.

But the World Health Organization, WHO claims that ‘there is no evidence’ that any medicine ‘can prevent or cure the disease’.

With a spiraling crisis and no cure in sight, doctors in Europe, the US and China have been given license to prescribe the promising drug to COVID-19 patients.

But the UK has prevented clinicians from dishing out hydroxychloroquine – a form of chloroquine – until clinical trials are completed.

Chloroquine (CQ), branded as Aralen, and counterpart hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), known as Plaquenil, are well-established medicines.

They are also prescribed on the NHS to treat rheumatoid arthritis and lupus and have been used since the 1940s.

The latest poll, conducted by Sermo – a ‘virtual lounge’ for doctors, found the tablets were most widely used for COVID-19 in Spain, where 72 percent of physicians said they had prescribed them.
