Doctor, former Kansas governor says coronavirus patients 'doing better' in testing with anti-malaria drug
Dr. Jeff Colyer on the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 President Trump calls the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine a ‘game changer’ in treating the coronavirus; reaction and analysis from former Kansas governor, practicing surgeon Dr. Jeff Colyer.
Anti-malaria drugs ike hydroxychloroquine -- which are being used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) patients -- are showing positive results, former Kansas governor and practicing surgeon Dr. Jeff Colyer said Wednesday.
Appearing on "America's Newsroom" with host Ed Henry, Colyer said that data from testing at the University of Kansas and in the Kansas City community have proven the drug to have a "safe safety profile."
"I'm one of those people that has had both the white coat and the blue coat on as a policymaker, and it is an important balance," he explained. "[The] white coat in me would love to have more standardized tests with this. However, we have a lot of data, and in fact, about 21 percent of all prescriptions in the United States are used off-label."
"We now have a couple of studies, really, they're large case reports, that show that people who were on this medication have fewer symptoms and are doing better," he continued further. "We're going to be getting a lot more data over the next couple of weeks."
That said, Colyer noted that this was the only drug physicians could turn to at the moment.
"But, the important thing is as a policymaker you are wanting to help people. As a doctor, I want to help people as well, but we have to get them the right drug. And, this is, frankly, the only one that is in our arsenal," he told Henry.

Yes ..... I sort of felt that you meant the (sarcasm) tag to be there.

Is your “covid will mutate” rationale going to be used by the Progressives to prevent the use of this med?
Not even Laz...
They say they are using it. If it is 100% effective this will all be over tomorrow.
I did notice neither Fauci or Brix even mentioned Plaquenil.
also Laboring Under Correct Knowledge
The companies that make this drug should be ramping up production, fast!
With regards to Trump being ‘lucky’ - one of Trump’s strengths is his experience as a businessman. He is a risk taker.
He has been accused of making definitive statements which - if you go to the exact source of his quotes, is more accurately described as ‘leading from ahead of the curve’. It’s like his desire to open up some markets by Easter.
The wailing and negative reaction to his Easter deadline is an example of news media run amuck. Our POTUS said he hoped to begin changing the policies on a return to normalcy by Easter, which has been called risky. Stating a hoped for goal is a good thing. It begins the transition back to a healthy way of life for American citizens, and is not an all or nothing approach, but a gradual beginning by that date.
“Hydroxycloroquine will be good to save lives after FDA/NIH/CDC approval sometime next year.”
Doctors are not fools. Unless prohibited by government edict they will prescribe Hydroxycloroquine off-label to treat the virus. Only Leftists believe FDA/NIH/CDC approval is required prescribe it.
you mean the Navy guy is a trans?
Just for the record, Colyer was never governor of Kansas.
Looks to me like that study showed that inexpensive hydroxychloroquine on its own is as effective as a combination of two expensive antiviral drugs that are conventional treatment for COVID-19. Of course, the media won’t report it that way.
If this works for President Trump I predict a landslide reelection.

I knew it would work when the Maestro stood before the lectern, the whole world, the MSM, the Fauci clinicians of the world and delivered the message from the Good Lord. Trump said I have a good feeling (translation - his inner self - the Holy Spirit) about Chloroquine. It could be a game changer. Now, as a layman, where else could he have gotten that amazing insight?

1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days
2. Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days
3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days
I’m tempted to start calling that combination “Trump Cocktail” just to irritate the leftists.
THAT!!!
Is an excellent idea! Beautiful.
Patient was successfully treated using the Trump Cocktail.......ha ha ha
I read the study. My previous post about it was incorrect. Hydroxychloroquine was added to the conventional treatment not given instead of the conventional treatment. Didn’t seem to help when combined with that conventional treatment.
Unless one lives in Colorado....
I enjoy watching PA’s “Dr Okun” giving pressers
Laughter is needed
