The War on Hydroxychloroquine

President Donald Trump several times has lauded the drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as a potential cure for COVID-19, even saying that he was taking it himself to ward off the disease, and he ordered his administration to make it readily available. Recently, however, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revoked its Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for using hydroxychloroquine to fight COVID-19, saying, in essence, it doesn’t seem to treat COVID-19 and is dangerous. Doctors, though, can still prescribe it for off-label use.

Yet researchers writing a review of COVID-19 treatments for the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) summarized the safety of chloroquine (CQ) treatment for COVID-19: “Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are relatively well tolerated as demonstrated by extensive experience in patients with SLE and malaria,” the researchers wrote, noting that in some cases there have been “rare and serious adverse effects.” Still, of the safety of the drugs in the context of COVID-19, they wrote: “No significant adverse effects have been reported for chloroquine at the doses and durations proposed for COVID-19. Use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in pregnancy is generally considered safe. A review of 12 studies including 588 patients receiving chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine during pregnancy found no overt infant ocular toxicity.”
