She's probably talking about Plaquenil, which is the brand name of Hydroxychloroquine
Tell her I said thank you for the work she and her team are doing
Same to you. Good luck on the medical journey. It's a long road but it pays off in the end.

They've already got the information. They're just trying to figure out the best way to profit from it.

Jesus, do people not know that third year medical students are just barely learning medicine at that point? Most curricula introduce pharmacology then and most students take years to properly assimilate a working knowledge of drug interactions and metabolism.

Dr's are hoarding these meds for their families so they must have some merit to the treatment
I think they need to threaten taking away their prescription pads, if it continues. This is completely unethical and just shows the same hoarding mentality as the TP brigade.
Granted, it will correct itself when production ramps up on making these pills since it is a generic

You must know some shitty medical students then. This stuff isn't rocket science and the information on the drugs is widely available in reference books
I'm not claiming to be an expert... Just trying to spread some positivity

Let me clarify: Testing for covid-19, not the drugs. I know the drugs are well know. If OP is saying to give it early, then we need to test for covid-19 early, often, and quickly.

This treatment should be given to those >50 OR any age with pre-existing health conditions in the outpatient setting with high fevers (102 and above) and acute cough that has gone on for 3-5 days straight. No matter if you have a positive test or not.
I got a question about this as my mom has Leukemia in early phases. Would this frick with her regular meds? I have no idea what they are.

If you are dumb enough to ingest aquarium cleaner, called Chlroquine, thinking it will have the same effect as a physician prescribed dose of HYDROXYchloroquine, then you are just a product of natural selection

My biggest question is do these drugs cause potential problems for the patient if they don't work on CV19 or other related conditions?
There are side effects but they use this to treat arthritis (among other conditions) currently and they bear the same risk.
Side effects of no CV19 treatments are death.
Need more doctors to use this in lieu of trials. Don’t have time for that shite.

I agree.
I was asking because if the effects of the treatment are minimal or the same as what they are when they're used normally, then it's criminal not to allow people to try it.

I have been bombarded with articles over the last few days saying things like “fly in the ointment of Plaquenil”(referring to the Chinese study stating Supportitive care was as efficacious) or “Plaquenil doesn’t move the needle” (referring to the French study) all in a political backlash because Trump was optimistic it would help and was cutting red tape to get it studied and available to use for compassionate care.
I thought the medical community could look past politics when trying to help a patients but because Trump backed it, people want to poo-poo the idea.
Did Trump imply FDA already approved Plaquenil for the Wuhan Coronavirus or did he state he was cutting red tape to get the FDA to study it and approve it as quickly as possible if it was efficacious? Yes he was optimistic about it. Now some in the medical community are discounted this potential treatment bc they hate trump and/or they are afraid of shortages.

Anyone who blocks these potential treatments for political reasons should be strung up by the neck

That is the part that they “don’t know” and want trials for. I agree that this needs to be used to the extent we have supply

FoxNews interviewed one of the most respected infectious disease doctors in the country last night, and he acknowledged that he’s using the hydroxychloroqine/z-pac combo in all of his COVID patients.

reading a reference book is barely a starting point for practicing medicine, it does not make you expert by any stretch of any reasonable imagination.
There are thousands of potentially qualified people who do have the experience to pass a qualified opinion on drug use recommendations. Third year medical students are legally and ethically not on that list.
