Man Dead From Taking Chloroquine Product After Trump Touts Drug For Coronavirus

• announced that the FDA had fast-tracked approval of the drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for treatment of COVID-19, he added, “The nice part is, it's been around for a long time, so we know that if it—if things don't go as planned, it's not going to kill anybody.”
  
  Except it just did.
  
  A man in Arizona has died and his wife is in critical condition after drinking a small amount of a chloroquine phosphate product in hopes of preventing a coronavirus infection. Instead of the drug form of chloroquine phosphate, the couple ingested a chloroquine phosphate product that’s used to treat parasites in fish.
  
  “We were afraid of getting sick,” she told NBC News. The woman, age 61, and her husband, 68, were healthy and had no underlying conditions, but they were worried about catching the virus. She had recognized the name “chloroquine” when she heard Trump say it because she had used it to treat her Koi fish.
  
  Today In: Healthcare
  They each mixed 1 teaspoon of the chloroquine phosphate with soda. Within 20 minutes, the woman began vomiting and her husband had trouble breathing. The woman called paramedics, and the couple were admitted to a Banner Health hospital.
  
  The couple, in their 60s, are not the first to accidentally poison themselves after hearing Trump’s statements. Just a day after Trump’s press conference, Nigeria reported multiple poisonings from people who attempted to treat themselves with chloroquine and overdosed on the drug. In those cases, they were taking the actual human drug formulation.
  
  PROMOTED
  
  At the time of Trump’s announcement, FDA commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn emphasized: “We may have the right drug, but it might not be in the appropriate dosage form right now, and it might do more harm than good.”
  
  Unfortunately, that message was overshadowed by Trump’s misstatement that the drug had been approved.
  
  When NBC News reporter Vaughn Hillyard asked the woman what she wanted others to know, she said, “Oh my God. Don't take anything. Don’t believe anything. Don’t believe anything that the President says and his people because they don’t know what they’re talking about. And don't take anything—be so careful and call your doctor. This is a heartache I'll never get over.”
  
  It’s true that clinical trials have begun for using chloroquine, one of the world’s oldest anti-malaria drugs, and hydroxychloroquine, a less toxic derivative of chloroquine that treats lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, to treat the disease caused by the coronavirus. But the FDA can’t approve a drug, much less fast-track it, without solid evidence of safety and effectiveness, and it hasn’t approved either of these drugs for COVID-19 treatment.
  
  As Forbes contributor Mary Beth Pfeiffer has written, hydroxychloroquine has appeared to help some patients with COVID-19, and there is hope that further study will reveal it to be a tool in fighting the coronavirus. But doctors remain cautious because the evidence for the drug’s effectiveness is shaky, based initially on a single in vitro study and then a very small, unpublished trial in France.
  
  Neither chloroquine nor hydroxychloroquine is harmless. Side effects of chloroquine can include vision problems, for example, and hydroxychloroquine, known by the brand name Plaquenil, carries a risk of fatal arrhythmia, where the heart beat becomes so irregular that the patient goes into cardiac arrest. Multiple doctors and pharmacists took to Twitter to warn the public of potentially dangerous effects of taking these drugs, especially with azithromycin, a combination which can also lead in rare cases to sudden death.
  
  Trump’s inaccurate remarks are hurting more than those attempting to self-medicate. As ProPublica reported, many patients with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis who rely on Plaquenil as a regular medication are now running out and cannot get refills. Pharmacist Katherine Rowland reported on Twitter that a dentist tried to call in a prescription for hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for himself, his wife and another couple, a practice that’s led Ohio to pass an emergency rule to meet strict requirement before filling dispensing those drugs.
  
  
  This story has been updated to clarify that the couple ingested a chloroquine phosphate product. It previously already stated that the product was intended for fish.

He didn't take the exact drug, he took another drug which contains chloroquine - chloqoquine phosphate. A big difference.

Are you claiming chloroquine is Corona's magic vaccine?

good decision

It wasn't a drug at all. It was literally fish tank cleaner with the salt you mention in it as ingredient.

Height of idiocy and its TDS in this case to blame trump for that imo.

And us Pakistanis are still importing pulses and edible oil. Although this drug is not approved and trump is over rating it. It's being tested against a placebo.

Pakistan dont need to import it from anywhere , we already produce it locally .

Pakistan has already banned export of chloroquine and also the ingredients it's made from as per the announcement by the Ministry of National Health Service yesterday.

Pakistan is now training 5,000 doctors within one month on how to use chloroquine to treat Cronavirus patients.

Pakistan is now training 5,000 doctors within one month on how to use chloroquine to treat Cronavirus patients.

It is used with a combo of drugs and not just alone to treat and it also has very dangerous side effects for some people with certain conditions and people with those conditions are most likely to die with the virus. There needs to be a full combo of drugs required to make it an effective treatment.

There needs to be a full combo of drugs required to make it an effective treatment.

The following drugs are currently being tested under the leadership of WHO.

1. Antiviral compound - Remdesivir
2. Malaria medications - Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine
3. A combination of two HIV drugs - Lopinavir and Ritonavir
4. An immune system messenger - Interferon-beta

It’s a prescribed drug that people around the world have been taking for decades.

 

[BHarwana]

The following drugs are currently being tested under the leadership of WHO.

1. Antiviral compound - Remdesivir
2. Malaria medications - Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine
3. A combination of two HIV drugs - Lopinavir and Ritonavir
4. An immune system messenger - Interferon-beta

Another question what is this combination tells you about that what type of treatment are they doing to stop this virus?

Antiviral compound - Remdesivir

This is Nucleoside analogues What this drug is doing in this mix punch is stopping the replication of virus in uninfected cells. Suppressing the virus and buying more time.

Malaria medications - Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine
This drug some what attacks the virus and destroys it. It is a direct treatment but not the exact treatment. It is effective enough to suppress the virus to good extent.SSo it works on already infected cells.

A combination of two HIV drugs - Lopinavir and Ritonavir

Lopinavir and Ritonavir this again stops the virus replication. So they are using 2 direct virus suppresses to stop the expansion of virus.

An immune system messenger - Interferon-beta

This causes the uninfected cells to heighten their anti-virus defence of the body and acts as a catalysts for immune system to kick in.


So what this treatment tells you is they suppress the virus attack it a little bit contain it from expanding to uninfected cells and then give your body enough time for your immune system to kick in and save the day.

So this all concludes that early testing and medication will prevent more deaths. So test test test test test and save the day. If the expansion of virus is more your chances of survival are less.WWe don't have direct treatment so stay in your houses and keep social distancing.

So what ever trump is telling you is bull shit and get treated if you have virus.
