The malaria pill hydroxycholoroquine failed to help coronavirus patients in 2 big studies

, found that among thousands of hospitalized coronavirus patients, those who received the antimalarial medication hydroxychloroquine didn't fare better or worse than patients who didn't receive the drug.

An observational study published Monday in JAMA examined 1,438 patients hospitalized between March 14 and 28 in New York state. It found that those who received hydroxychloroquine, the antibiotic azithromycin, or both hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin didn't have meaningfully lower rate of in-hospital deaths compared to patients who didn't receive the drugs. About 70% of hospitalized patients included in the study were given hydroxychloroquine alone or with azithromycin. , Business Insider's weekly newsletter on pharma, biotech, and healthcare.

The study also reported that cardiac arrest was more common in patients who received both hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin compared to those who received neither drug. In NEJM, an observational study looked at 1,376 patients admitted to Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City, 811 of who were given hydroxychloroquine.

The patients who received hydroxychloroquine tended to be more severely ill than those who did not receive the drug. Authors of both studies noted that randomized controlled trials — which assign patients either to the medication or a placebo control at random —are needed.

So why they are using with success in Italy and France ...... good to know

Lucky Clive Palmer bought 33 million doses for Australia 😂

HaifaNaimi It is an observational study design which can't prove failure or success of hydroxycholoroquine. There is an urgent need for conducting RCTs and further investigation is required in many countries targeting large NO. of population and using different sampling methods.

Again, garbage study. JAMA paper, 'those receiving hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, or both were more likely than those not receiving either drug to have diabetes, respiratory rate 22/min, abnormal chest imaging findings, O2 saturation lower than 90% . . . .' chrismartenson

The studies are garbage. In NEJM paper, HCQ was given to way more elderly (1.5x) and obese individuals (2x). Per the NEJM study 'Hydroxychloroquine-treated patients were more severely ill at baseline than those who did not receive hydroxychloro- quine. . . . ' chrismartenson

SHAME narendramodi

Fake news. Observational studies are it real studies and lot of limitation so not considered scientific. They may generate hypothesis for further studies.

I hope solutions are found soon. Different studies are having different results. Based on what I have read, I would say we still have a ways to go. All indications have been that HCQ is helpful at onset but not so much after a certain level of disease progression.

Search hydroxychloroquine Italy, hydroxychloroquine Spain, hydroxychloroquine turkey.

No shit.

From what I've picked up on, it was supposed to be administered with Zinc. Unless i missed Zinc in the article, please let me know, but the FDA, and its Doctors are not interested in a drug that doesn't go through the testing stages,

We don’t really care about what you people say. Hasn’t that sunk in yet ? Or do you just like pleasing your puppeteers ? People are wide awake now. You keep sleeping

Failure.

In fake studies. Whereas it has helped many others.

we live in the matrix

False story jooor

And Trumpy Doodle Do recently coerced Modi and India to make an exception to their Covid-19 related Medicines and PPE export ban in order to.... Wait for it....to buy 17 million pills of that stuff (Hydroxychloroquine). 🤩 The Art of the Deal...Antagonize countries for no point🤪

RealOlaudah Are those studies? Patients that are on ventilators? when we already know that 90% of corona virus patients on ventilators eventually die.

RealOlaudah Lies

GIVE EARLY !!!! Only 5 days

How many did it KILL?

Send to people. Who would want them. Simple. Why drama..

'The patients who received hydroxychloroquine tended to be more severely ill than those who did not receive the drug.' All positive results for the drug were gleaned from patients who received it EARLY after onset of symptoms, NOT patients with advanced illness.

WOW ... who knew

Forgot to say Vitamin 'D' and 'C', are useless too.

More fake news in favor of big pharmaceutical

They will never mention who funded the study. That would expose everything. So stay calm and move on.

What did the control group receive?

This is how fake news happens along with bogus studies. Hydroxichlorine must be administered with Zinc. It is not effective on its own. obamagate

So what next?
