good question. they came out condemning the chloroquine and lying that people were admitted after self-medicating on it.
instead of them to conduct their own research, they are waiting for the US to approve of a drug first.

The same chloroquine?

Bro, you have not answered the question directed to you. This is the same Chloroquine that was banned worldwide by WHO and this useless country followed suit, how come is it the same that will be using to treat Coronavirus...
I have clearly answered your question unless you failed to comprehend it..

Chloroquine was banned because it was no longer efficacious against Malaria and not because of any adverse drug effects..

We are talking about the use of Chloroquine to treat VIRAL(CORONAVIRUS) infections of which Malaria is not one..

Please, are you a medical personnel because I'll love to ask something concerning this virus

Those that were initially positive and then declared negative, which drugs were they given? Also, was it the symptoms of the virus that was being treated?

If as reports state that the virus is still in their body, only that it's now low, after discharging them, do they continue taking those drugs?

If not, what stops the virus from multiplying and overtaking their immune system again?

I hope you'll understand my questions... I'm asking because in the case of HI-Virus, the patient keeps taking the drugs forever to reduce its count, but same isn't being done here
Most people that gets infected and shows symptoms like fever,cough and breathlessness amongst others,have before now been treated by supportive and symptomatic management,until their immune system were able to fight off the infection by the production of ANTIBODIES..

Each symptoms they present with,like fever and pains for instance is managed by the use of Analgesics eg Paracetamol.

Also that is why the use of Ventilators and oxygen is top priority in the care of infected patients,because the disease causes difficulty in the uptake of oxygen which can lead suffocation..

Many viruses,after causing an illness may not be completely eradicated from the body but the immune system is able to suppress such viruses that they may not cause any further harm to the patient,example of such diseases includes Chicken Pox,Smallpox and Measles..

So even if a sufferer of this disease still habour the virus,he may not necessarily be sick again after treatment nor infect others..

The main problem with HIV,which is not common with most viruses is its low replication fidelity or tendency towards MUTATIONS..

That is,as the HIV is multiplying and reproducing,it is changing and therefore the immune system may not be able to keep up with the rapid new type of HIVs and defend against these new HIVs being released into the patient..

The Coronavirus does not rapidly mutate/change like the HIV and therefore once the immune system is able to take care of it,ANTIBODIES against it are produced by the body which should be able to tackle any subsequent infection and keep it at bay..

When Trump proposed chloroquine as an anti-viral pill for the corona virus, the democrats were shouting down on him and telling people not to listen to Trump. He has been vindicated with the approval of FDA to use chloroquine.
By God's Grace the virus will be wiped out soon.

Same chloroquine that was banned by same nafdac.

In as much as this development is welcome, has the root cause of its initial ban been addressed?
Chloroquine was banned in the world not jut NAFDAC because the malaria parasite developed resistance to the drug and it itches virtually all blood group.
Since there are better drugs to battle malaria without itching, it made no sense producing the drug.

Read and comprehend the text again and again.

The ban was due to the resistance developed by malaria parasite to chloroquine.

Morganaliticus:

It was banned because the malaria parasite had grown resistant to it, continuing it's production wasn't advised.

False

It was banned because the pharmaceutical companies wanted it out in order to sell their new products called ACTs.

It wa never banned in the US. Those going to malaria endemic zones like Africa were advised to take it for prophylaxis.
