SIMILAR?
Just because a 'product' contains CHLORINE is no reason to try it!!
Drink some bleach outta yer laundry room!
President Trump needs to get ahead of this too. They’re too many stupid people who will go and see what the mainstream media purposely put out is the same name of the drug that he is saying will help us and they want a meltdown. That is what they want. It is brass knuckle time this is no time for President Trump to act like President Bush and be above The Fray.
Very definitely off-label use, NOT for human consumption.
In fact, it has to be used somewhat sparingly around fish, at very low concentrations, or they go belly up too.
There are some things the human metabolism may NEVER grow accustomed to.
Chloroquine and hydrochloroquine are not the same thing.
But the HEADLINE says "dies after taking chloroquine", NOT "chloroquine phosphate - an aquarium cleaning product".
Reuters deliberately trying to making it look like the proven malaria drug killed the couple.
You mean it’s not 100% effective?! Oh noes, we must not take it, then!
They each took a teaspoon of the stuff, with an unknown concentration. Maybe 15 times the regular dose.
The dose is everything. If I take 2 paracetamol or 2 aspirin, I’m fine. But if I take 30 of them, I am a dead man.
And this assumes that fish tank cleaner doesn’t contain any other poisonous substances.
a little chlorine in the gene pool
I ***** hate Reuters
OMG!! EVIL FAKE NEWS!! This was NOT the same.....this was for cleaning AQUARIUMS!!
What else is in the product? What is name of product. There may be other compounds in product which are toxic. Sensationalistic report.
Fish tank cleaner. I hardly believe the president instructed people to poison themselves. Good freaking grief...
Using an aquarium cleaner is not taking a carefully manufactured pill.
***chloroquine phosphate - an aquarium cleaning product similar to drugs***
It isn’t pure for aquariums and has other materials and dosage is suspect because of the lack of purity.
After decades of safe use for malaria...hazarding a guess, I’d say don’t swallow aquarium cleaner.
The headline is so stupidly TDS!

Right off the bat, Acute oral toxicity, do not ingest, harmful if swallowed, if swallowed call poison center, yada yada
Fear and media-driven hysteria is what killed this man.
In my opinion, the headline should be “The FDA ‘protects’ adult Americans from access to medicine, so they die trying to improvise.”
Dramatically misleading headline here. HCQ is as different from Chloroquine Phosphate as HO is from H2O.
