Not the same. Two related but different compounds. The "H" version has fewer side effects and works better. Still widely available and inexpensive (FDA approved in 1955)
Yes you are right! Sorry didn’t catch that if that was misleading.
Do you know if anyone is prescribing Aralen or conversely if doctors are refusing to use it with these patients? Since there is a run and a shortage right now, either one ought to help and should be safe enough, under doctor’s care absolutely, of course. No? I believe there is even a form that a compounding pharmacist could make up in a pinch. Right?
There are problems when these compounds are taken with other meds that patients are on for their other conditions like heart disease, the most vulnerable patients. This is all clearly listed in the contraindications.
Should I be thinking that the doctors are not being careful with this? I saw that the Chinese doctors were upping dosages in dangerous ways.
I think it works in more than one way, as a zinc ionophore (RdRP inhibitor), and as an anti-inflammatory (although I don’t know why it would be better than other anti-inflammatory drugs, that are not working on COVID-19).
Thanks for the correction. I do require it and thank you everyone for all contradiction and controversy.
