WELLVIS : On Chloroquine And Coronavirus, What To Know by blacbard(m): 12:33am On Mar 20, 2020
While it is true that Chloroquine is being tested and used in the treatment of coronavirus, and has shown effectivity, it is also true that Chloroquine is a drug you should not buy and use without prescription and caution:
Before you stock up on CHLOROQUINE & start taking indiscriminately, take note of the following:

Every drug is potentially harmful, even at therapeutic doses.
Drugs work, only when taken for the right indication @ the right dose/duration.
Self medication is VERY dangerous especially when you do not know the dose and how to take the drug including when to stop.


Adverse / dangerous side effects of Chloroquine include:

Itching
Nausea/vomiting
Abdominal cramps
Hypoglycemia ( your blood sugar becomes dangerously low which can kill you)
Seizures
Hemolysis(breakdown of RBCs), in G6PD deficient people.
Cardiomyopathy which can lead to HEART FAILURE This means your heart literally cannot work well and pump blood.
Retinopathy (destruction of retina which can lead to blindness) , in prolonged usage etc
From the above mentioned—particularly the latter outlined— you will agree with me that CHLOROQUINE is not a drug you want to toy with (most importantly for children)

I suggest we wait for the professionals to ratify the when and how regarding use of the drug.
