What would you do?

So, if you are hospitalized for COVID-19 and if things don't improve shortly you will be put on a ventilator, would you try the Hydroxychloroquine and Z-Pack?

My aunt had a minor illness and was prescribed Chloramphenicol which killed her. Other children were also killed.

Safe use is surely important. Some risks are set aside when time is of the essence, which many have felt was the case.

As long as you aren't lying to people, it's fine. People just need to know

Are the negatives established for Covid-19?

By the time you do a randomized, placebo controlled study looking at

Wrong. There are already thousands of papers on covid pubmed indexed

More than likely yes...

Which is why we are so aware of the risks. In setting of known risks

safety is not the end all and be all of goals. it's a consideration

Yes, we'll never have a completely safe medicine. Chemo kills people. I'm not saying it has to be 100% safe. I'm saying

Then it should be rushed to the front of the line and approved for treatment post haste.

shimmy

All doctors and nurses are already taking it.

I don't think that's correct...

CoachSpeak

4/7/20 12:25pm

Where? I'm surprised. Have they asked to take it?

charles

Both work for IHC, my daughter at IMC in Murray and my wife at Orem Community

Are they seeing covid19 infected patients? Are they treating patients with hcq?

My daughter is, she's an intensive care nurse...

well that is made up

You are right. But who are you arguing with?

Coach's Dad

4/7/20 11:28am

I’m arguing with the people saying we should go all oprah on it.

shimmy

4/7/20 11:34am

Fair enough. Vetting needs to be done. But now may not be the best time

Coach's Dad

4/7/20 11:46am

That's horrible. Did the doctor improperly prescribe/dose it? Was there an allergic reaction?

SierraCoug

4/7/20 11:34am

No idea to be honest. It appears to be much more toxic than HCQ and was pulled way back some time ago.

shimmy

4/7/20 11:43am

There are not many people who thinks we need to be giving everyone doses of it right now.

JohnnyComeLately

I agree with that as I stated earlier in the thread. And my comparison was not meant as an apples to apples

shimmy

I didn’t read every post in the thread before commenting so my apologies.

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding. I definitely think we should try using drugs to dave people's lives. Didn't mean to

Hope and pray the drug Mr. Trump is promoting is the miracle cure we're looking for.

I don't think it will be a miracle cure. There are favorable and unfavorable anecdotal stories regarding the drug. There

"Safety is paramount" = never do anything. Corona is not a minor illness.
