Hydroxychloroquine: what we know so far

Last week, a study in The Lancet raised further questions about the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as a treatment for Covid-19. This comes even as US President Donald Trump continues to push for HCQ, including a claim that he has been using it himself.

HCQ has been the subject of debate around the world. It is India’s drug of choice both for treatment and prophylaxis (post-exposure preventive). India has extended guidelines for its use and is currently exporting it to 55 other countries, even though the World Health Organisation (WHO) has been cautious about its efficacy.
