And that is exactly what Dr. Fauci means, there are questions that cannot be answered yet because the evidence is anecdotal, ONE study does not do the trick.

It is very hopeful and I believe it will be the answer, but what is the dosage? How long should it be prescribed for? How does it react when a patient is prescribed Chloroquine but has other complications? and many more questions.

How many lawsuits will be brought if they get any of this wrong? It can and is being prescribed, it just can’t get the stamp of approval yet.

I'd start here among others that are very similar.

Adult dosing (≥18 years):
600 mg PO BID x2 doses (load), then 200 mg PO TID

Pediatric dosing (<18 years):
10 mg/kg (max: 600 mg/dose) PO BID x2 (load), then 3 mg/kg PO TID (max: 200 mg/dose)

Duration:
5 days
In select patients with extended ventilation or profound immunosuppression duration may be extended
