Hydroxychloroquine rated 'most effective therapy' by doctors for coronavirus: Global survey
The Washington Times ^ | 4/2/2020 | Valerie Richardson

Posted on 04/02/2020 11:28:40 AM PDT by mmichaels1970

An international poll of more than 6,000 doctors released Thursday found that the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine was the most highly rated treatment for the novel coronavirus.

The survey conducted by Sermo, a global health care polling company, of 6,227 physicians in 30 countries found that 37% of those treating COVID-19 patients rated hydroxychloroquine as the “most effective therapy” from a list of 15 options.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave chloroquine and its next-generation derivative, hydroxychloroquine, emergency-use authorization Monday for treating the novel coronavirus, although the drug was already being used off-label by some doctors and hospitals for COVID-19 patients.

The survey also found that the most commonly prescribed treatments are analgesics (56%), azithromycin (41%) and hydroxychloroquine (33%).

Wake up the CDC and FDA. They have been asleep for months.

I know. I don't get why adding up the rows for each column goes over 100%. I'm missing something.

It does appear we lead the world in saying that "doing nothing" is the most effective treatment. Maybe that means the docs feel that social distancing is the only thing that works.

Gastric freezing, the Halstead radical mastectomy, B12 shots, the list of therapies rated “most effective” by doctors worldwide which either don’t work or which cause harm is very long.

Right. This should not be seen as vindication for President Trump.

It should be ignored.

This sounds like a consensus and that the science is settled. Does there need to be any other data or research? All dissenters should be labeled as quinine deniers.

And even bigger for Andrew Cuomo’s chances should they try to run him.

Actually it was Laura Ingraham who deserves all the credit for promoting this drug. She was the first to mention it, she has taken it twice..I think Trump saw her broadcast and saw it as an opportunity to call on more reserarch

I’m sure doctors are using a combination of drugs not just one exclusively.

Often it is hard to tell which one is the most effective so doctors just list what they have tried and administered and found effective and that would account why totals exceed 100%.

What I don’t understand is why the U.S. has the lowest reported usage ( in this survey anyways) of hydroxychloroquinine ?
Do doctors have TDS too ?

Are they also members of “Science for the Resistance” like that democrat donor couple that drank the fish tank cleaner?

I was treated with hydroxychloroquine for COVID -19 from SAT to TUE...released from the Hospital yesterday.....it works well. I was better Saturday evening

That is great to hear! I'm glad you're feeling better! Are you immune now? Like a new superpower?

It's been a rotten day. It cheers me up to hear good news like yours!

On a lighter note, do you feel like HCQ is the most effective for Klingons? :)

No, she wasn’t.

I met people (on other forums) who had been taking an antimalarial regimen on one of the quarantined cruise ships. They were saying that none of the people who were taking hydroxychloroquine as an antimalarial drug contracted the virus long before the press picked it up.

I would give the credit for this avenue of treatment directly on the shoulders of passengers who worked hard to ensure their experience was not ignored.

Not anyone in the press, and not any politician.
The common people figured out this one.

“...correct. and we are using it when it is LEAST effective... AFTER lung damage has occured.”

Precisely and the earlier the treatment with HDQ/Z-pac, the better the results. An Emergency room physician buddy of mine says the efficacy as a prophylactic is best of all.

FDA has issued emergency approval for treatment of COVID-19, so the EO now allows prescription in NY upon diagnosis.

Not sure how many doctors are issuing diagnosis before test results are returned, so that may be the next Catch-22.

do you have a link to the new EO by cuomo? I hadn’t heard this- I thought his EO banning it’s use off label came after the FDA emergency approval?
