Question

11. Some experts suggest ‘Hydroxychloroquine’ and paracetomal tablets will reduce the rapid

growths of virus in our body. Explain.​

Answer 1

• Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are two medications that have been used for many decades to treat malaria and autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus

• There is not enough medical data at this time to prove that hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine work for COVID-19 — while some small studies suggest the medications may be helpful, other studies saw no difference.

• There have been no studies showing that these medications work for prevention.

There’s now a shortage of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, which means that people who normally take these medications to manage their health are having a harder time getting the treatment they need.
