I don't think they can. Chloroquine has been around since 1934, Hydroxychloroquine since 1955. Patents long expired.

Cleared but unknown how effective.

What could be better than nothing?

Gargling with draino.

Side effects and false hope

IF it fights it at all, and boosts the immune response, that helps.

Preliminary results look pretty promising

Great. Can we reopen our cities and all get back to work now!

Not unknown, but limited data.

There are a ton of caveats on that drug for COVID but at least there MIGHT be something already available to combat it

Indy Coug

Yup. Not a vaccine, not a specific pharmaceutical tx for covid, but a whole lot

Read this yesterday. Chloroquine is promising treatment.

This sort of thing is our only chance. We can't make it until the vaccine comes

Now let's hope big RX doesn't decide to jack the price up to astronomical levels

It’s just nice to see some good news, let’s hope this helps get life back to normal.

Anybody know the mechanism of action for the drug? The article didn't explain.

My father was a pharmacist and I discussed this drug with him last night

This was all I found when I looked:

MedCram has a pretty good video.

Wow. That was really fast. I'm actually impressed with how effective we are as a world community when we have to

I thought I read somewhere today Bayer could have huge volumes of it in weeks?

Quick, everyone, throw away your TP & replace with gin & tonic.

Bayer just donated 3 million tablets to the US

This could be big time. Prayers up!
