There were more side effects in the group of 75 people who took hydroxychloroquine, but they were mostly mild, the most common being diarrhea. The researchers, led by Wei Tang of Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai, wrote that the medicine’s anti-inflammatory effects probably helped alleviate patients’ symptoms.

I believe it was called “cold eaz” or something like that
And I believe it was a chewable zinc supplement
I believe it was sued because it was never “tested for the claims” it was making.
Teachers swore by it
It probably doesn't rid the body of the virus per se, but ti prevents you from drowning in your own phlem as the lungs fill up and shut down, so it allows you to LIVE!
Perhaps we should sue Dr. Trump for malpractice and saving lives! / sarc
[[There were more side effects in the group of 75 people who took hydroxychloroquine, but they were mostly mild, the most common being diarrhea.]]
“Mostly”? Or TOTALLY- Yuo can bet if there had been any serious side effects the article woulda pounced all over that fact
[[The drug did help alleviate some clinical symptoms of Covid-19]]
Yeah, like death-
Hey bloomberg- stop the freakin BS=- the drug is saving 10’s of 1000’s of lives- Admit IT! - The Drugs work! President Trump won the election- Admit it! Stop being so childish
Any statement/claim out of Red China...particularly those connected to medicine...means less than nothing.
But yet when I see a new drug being advertised on the TV that has a list of side effects that takes half the commercial, it’s a miracle drug. That includes the ones that can increase suicidal tendencies, or cause death, stroke, liver damage, and lowing resistance to all kinds of infectious diseases. That’s all okay.
I have read that it acts as an ionophore allowing zinc to enter cells, and it is the zinc that gums up the virus's reproduction process.
If Cod Liver oil helped, I’d bite the bullet.
I HATED that stuff as a kid.

Homeopathic medicine company fights off Zicam lawsuits
August 2, 2007
“Consumers across the country have alleged in more than 400 lawsuits filed in courts and complaints logged with federal regulators that Zicam nasal gel, meant to relieve cold symptoms, has destroyed or diminished their sense of smell or taste.”
“Matrixx representatives say the controversy over Zicam boils down to one Colorado doctor, who first publicly linked Zicam to smell loss, and lawyers out to make a quick buck. Since September 2006, six federal courts have tossed out expert testimony from the doctor, Bruce Jafek, a University of Colorado School of Medicine ear, nose and throat specialist.”

Was politics involved in recall of Zicam?
First, Barack Obama began verbally going after Rush Limbaugh shortly after entering the White House.
Second, the FDA is a government agency.
Bear with me here as I work through this.
We’ve all heard about the recall of Zicam Cold Rememdy, that homeopathic medication that helps prevent or ease cold symptoms.
Zicam is advertised and promoted by conservative radio talk show king Rush Limbaugh.
Is there a connection?
A box of Zicam gel swabs sits permanently on my desk. Why? Because the stuff works! Today on Glenn Beck a woman caller said she could no longer find the product in stores. It has been removed which, in turn, removes the decision from the consumer about using the product.
Nanny state government at work once again?
My first question when hearing the recall news was, “Did consumers follow the directions?”
Along with the required warnings, directions for use read: “Apply medication just inside first nostril. ... Do not insert swab more than 1/4” past nasal opening.”
...According to Reuters:
On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned the company to stop selling nasal versions of its Zicam cold remedy and urged consumers not to use them after more than 130 people reportedly lost their sense of smell.
Shares of the company have tumbled since the warning, falling as much as 70 percent. On Thursday its shares continued to fall, trading down .3 percent at $6.11 in early afternoon on the Nasdaq.
Matrixx must seek FDA-approval if it wants to continue selling Zicam zinc products administered via the nose. Hemelt said the company was not likely to do so, saying the process would take years and be “highly expensive.”
While the company would try to convert users of Zicam’s nasal products to oral versions, it would likely see an estimated $5 million in lost sales, Hemelt said. The other $5 million in losses was likely to come from new advertising efforts to reach out to consumers, he added.
FDA’s warning applies to Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel, Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs and Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs Kids Size, but does not affect Zicam oral zinc tablets or lozenges.
?>>That includes the ones that can increase suicidal tendencies, or cause death,
They were claiming last week that Trump pills cause mental instability (really, they did)
The diarrhea could come from a Zpac
Oh ok, I was thinking of something else then
Cold Ease also has zinc in it, it is pretty popular with teachers during cold/flu season. But it is like a chewable gum drop, nothing that goes up the nose.
I used to take it when I worked in a school.
I always thought it worked.
Bloomberg study out of China FAKE NEWS !!!
Have you read pro rata rape stats by race
Just saying lol
Unintendedly somewhat accurate your klansman
Zicam.
It’s active ingredient was being linked to the loss of the sense of smell.
from Google
“Does hydroxychloroquine cause depression?
Hydroxychloroquine may cause some people to be agitated, irritable, or display other abnormal behaviors. It may also cause some people to have suicidal thoughts and tendencies, or to become more depressed - Feb 1, 2020”
Without Zicam it is worthless. And the fda didn’t care until Obama was President. “Limbaugh swabs”
Without Zinc
