In April, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2020\/04\/study-using-high-doses-of-malaria-drug-against-coronavirus-stopped-early-due-to-patient-deaths\/\">study\u00a0testing high doses of chloroquine<\/a> as a treatment for the coronavirus was stopped early after 11 patients died. This outcome came only days after a hospital in France had stopped an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/hydroxychloroquine-coronavirus-france-heart-cardiac-1496810\">experimental treatment<\/a>\u00a0using hydroxychloroquine, citing a \u201c<em>major risk<\/em>\u201d of heart damage.<\/p>\n<p>Even prior to these studies,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/sfx\/chloroquine-side-effects.html\">chloroquine<\/a>\u00a0was already well known to cause dangerous side effects. Patients taking the drug have been shown to be at risk of suffering blood in the urine or stools, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, mental health problems, breathing difficulties, vomiting, jaundice, and numerous other complications. While\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/sfx\/hydroxychloroquine-side-effects.html\">hydroxychloroquine<\/a>\u00a0is often claimed to be safer than chloroquine, it too can cause serious side effects including allergic reactions, liver problems, low blood sugar, seizures, and heart problems.<\/p>\n<p>To learn the facts about Remdesivir, another drug being promoted as a supposed treatment for the virus, read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2020\/05\/what-you-should-know-about-the-drugs-that-allegedly-fight-the-pandemic\/\">this interview with Dr. Rath<\/a>.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button  button_left button_size_2 button_js\" href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2020-05-hydroxychloroquine-coronavirus-benefit-death.html\" target=\"_blank\"    ><span class=\"button_icon\"><i class=\"icon-right-open-big\" ><\/i><\/span><span class=\"button_label\">Read article at medicalxpress.com<\/span><\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A study of nearly 100,000 coronavirus patients has shown no benefit from the antiviral drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, and even an increased likelihood of dying in hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36082,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[121],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
