“For prophylactic use” bears repeating. The reason HCQ has been taken for years by people planning to travel to areas with malaria is to help keep them from getting sick. It is not a miracle drug like many seem to wish it was. It can have benefit to some who have the virus but is is most effective as a prophylactic and when the dust settles we’re going to learn that many medical professionals have been taking it despite other precautions to lessen their odds of getting the virus from patients they come in contact with.
HCQ works by increasing the pH of the cellular membrane which makes it more difficult for the virus to take over the cell and reproduce. That’s the only means by which a virus can reproduce, so if you padlock the cell, so to speak, you stop the viral infection. It has other benefits but as a treatment the data is not lying, it does not reverse the course of the disease in people who already have severe cases, which only makes sense when you understand how it works.
It is unfortunate that democraps turned it into a political issue but anyone who wants or needs HCQ can get it. There is alot of BS surrounding this issued, on all sides.
Some good information from “ gas_dr “, a front line doctor that I know. He has dealt with this on the front line to speak. Look him up.
