Two thingsL wasn’t there a loading dose of 400mg bid day one then 200mg bid for the next five days; was the Zpak 500mg day one QD and 250mg QD for another five days?
That’s what I seem to remember from Raoult’s study. It seemed reasonably cautious at the time. Both Raoult and Zelenko may vary dosage schedules based on severity but most get the same dosage regimen.
I’ve seen it both ways depending on the practitioner, I think just with the HCQ.
Our current regiments are:
Hyroxycholorquine 400 mg every 12 hours day #1
400 mg a day thereafter for four more days
Azithromycin 500 mg IV a day for 5 days
So double the hyrdoxychloroquine and double up the azithromysin each day for five days
