I realize this is an old thread....but I am in a discussion with a liberal relative of mine about HCQ.
Are you saying you would not prescribe HCQ with zinc and the antibiotic that has been recommended to be taken with it if you had a patient in the early stages of COVID19?
Thanks.
i don’t treat people until they are hospitalized so i have a little different perspective. currently the standard is decadron + remdesivir +/- convalescent plasma for hospitalized patients. that said hcq is getting another look after the Ford study Treatment literally changes sometimes daily but we are making progress
azithromycin is used if we think there might be a secondary or atypical pneumonia on top of covid or until cultures are negative. Same with other antibiotics
