Makes sense. The doc I mentioned didn’t say what tests he orders prior to administration, but he did say that an EKG was not part of the guidance for prescribing HCQ.
From what I see from many reputable sources:
MINIMUM for prevention:
3000mg / day in divided doses
If its conventional vit c. its recommended to increase up to “bowel tolerance” thats the point of getting a loose stool. The amount it takes for that varies per individual and other factors.
Treating in clinic or hospital its reported that they are seeing results in NY hospitals only using 1500mg via IV. this is a miniscule amount. Usually its given in much larger amounts- 10,000 to 50,000mg without side effect.
The key is to take large amounts as that is what is proven to get the desired results.

I call BS!
MUST WATCH VIDEO!
Dr. Zelenko update! Inspiring! Watch the WHOLE THING! Full of nuggets spread throughout. Also Dr. Karladine Graves with additional info and perspective.
Thank you for the additions. Up to date is one of the two main used sources for physicians, the other being WEBMD. My source, of course, was a government approved material safety data sheet (MSDS).
I find it interesting that both entries contained the same problem areas: ventricular arrhythmia, hypoglycemia (can be severe), and Neutropenia, all serious. You would think a red flag would go up when working with patients with age related problems and illnesses associated to the existing problem they are looking at for its use. I honestly think they were all grasping at straws that hadn’t grown yet. But at least Trump didn’t press for use of any quinine related drugs prior to being determined completely safe.
Kind of like treating with rat poison. In it they use brodifacoum which causes blood not to clot and promote internal bleeding. Guess I better not say that too loud.

The article is discussing a drug we are not using. We are using Hydroxychloroquine. Sweden is discussing chloroquine. Tricky, Newsweak.
I’m a bit concerned with the enthusiasm expressed here for hydroxychloroquine. The information thus far on it effectiveness in COVID-19 is largely anecdotal with no double blind placebo controlled date available. While I am a physician and spend about 50% of my time in the hospital I am not really on the front lines as a neurologist and cannot speak from personal experience about the drug’s efficacy. Still natural history is one possible confounding factor and placebo effect the other.
The potential side effects with hydroxychloroquine are definitely significant. This is not a safe drug like many here are touting. When used short-term under the care of a physician I think it is reasonable— many of the side effects are more long-term in nature, but if people start trying to use it as a preventative... not only is there no evidence to suggest that it would work but the risk of potentially severe side effects would escalate substantially.
