US President Donald Trump has once again promoted the use of this drug as a cure for the Coronavirus, or COVID-19.
It is not just Trump and the US who want India to lift restrictions on exports of what is believed to be the miracle drug to cure Coronavirus.
Governments believe that hydroxychloroquine tablets can work as a prophylactic, a medicine that prevents disease, for the health workers working on the frontlines in hospitals and as first responders to possible Coronavirus infection cases.
The White House top Coronavirus advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci told CBS's Face of The Nation that, "In terms of science, I don't think we can definitively say it works. The data are really just at best suggestive. There have been cases that show there may be an effect and there are others to show there's no effect."We just don't know yet Earlier, the US Food & Drug Administration had said they are working closely with the government and researchers to investigate the use of chloroquine.
A research published in Bioscience Trends on March 16 said, "The coronavirus disease 2019 virus is spreading rapidly, and scientists are endeavouring to discover drugs for its efficacious treatment in China. Chloroquine phosphate, an old drug for treatment of malaria, is shown to have apparent efficacy and acceptable safety against COVID-19 associated pneumonia in multi-center clinical trials conducted in China." It also said that the drug is recommended to be included in the next version of the Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Pneumonia Caused by COVID-19 issued by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China for treatment of COVID-19 infection in larger populations in the future.
The University of Minnesota is conducting a study in which hydroxychloroquine is being given to people who live with a coronavirus patient to understand if it can help in prevention of the infection, according to the New York Times.
Drug companies Cadila Pharmaceuticals, Torrent Pharmaceuticals and IPCA Laboratories also make hydroxychloroquine tablets.
