President Donald Trump has claimed that hes been taking the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine every day in an effort to avoid contracting coronavirus.

(Excerpt) Read more at yahoo.com ...
Daily would be more a treatment dosage, and might include Zinc?
“shouldn’t the dosage be once / week?”
—
Might be easier to manage and monitor smaller daily dosages than one big weekly one.
So tell us exactly what he is taking....
YES!!!!
HAHA!!!
This is going to drive the Left wing media and the Quack Bill Gates crazy!
Nothing can server as better example than the U.S. President in the White House.
Haha!
He is taking zinc and zpac along with it.
BOOM!!! Haha!
I love it because this is going to upset the vaxxers.
Haha!
Pharmacokinetics: Following a single 200 mg oral dose of PLAQUENIL to healthy males, the mean peak blood concentration of hydroxychloroquine was 129.6 ng/mL, reached in 3.26 hours with a half-life of 537 hours (22.4 days).
Maybe the Doctor had him take a real treatment dosage for the appropriate length of tome, then will dial back the treatment to the prophylactic dosage once complete?
That actually makes sense.
He could be taking 20mg’s a day. That would be a tiny very easy to swallow pill.
President Trump is taking HCQ as a preventative. His doctor is probably giving him a small Rx.
What an in-your-face to “Dr.” Garden Gnome.
“He is taking zinc and zpac along with it.”
Not zpac daily. Only once. It last for 30 days.
Probably given the amount of people around him in any one day, its okay.
I mean its daily or twice daily for covid folks, so taking it at this dose once a day would be what he’d need if he actually got it, to knock it down fast before it took a foothold.
I just heard on my radio app (CNN owned) a short where the journo was utterly verklempt in his tone that our Pres was taking HC.
Not to talk to myself, but it would be funny if trump held up his daily dose of hcl between his thumb and forefinger. The press could compare the pill to area of 1/4 the size of blotter.
My aunt’s niece has lupus she has been taking Hydroxy for a very long time, has 4 healthy boys, drug is absolutely harmless..this drug along with zinc is VERY beneficial in preventing the virus, I called this a month ago I knew he was taking it, it was obvious, countless exposures to people who have had the virus, I think the last straw was the Valet driver, the one who tested positive the next day, I think that is when he decided to just take the drug for prevention

Actually some people need to take HCQ daily at the onset of a prophylaxis regime post exposure.
” To maintain weekly troughs above EC50 in >50% of subjects at steady state in a pre-exposure prophylaxis setting, an 800 mg loading dose followed by 400 mg twice or three times weekly is required. In an exposure driven post-exposure prophylaxis setting, 800 mg loading dose followed in 6 hours by 600 mg, then 600 mg daily for 4 more days achieved daily troughs above EC50 in >50% subjects.”
Its amazing.
My son has been taking Plaquenil twice a day for several years for his RA.
Mayo Clinic dosage recommendations. It can be taken everyday. Trump said he takes zinc too.
