Trump's claim rejected, WHO shuts down hydroxychloroquine
The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for an end to the experimental use of hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug used to treat coronavirus covid-19. The decision was made by Tedros Adhanam Gabrieusus, director general of the company, as concerns were raised about the safety of Covid-19 patients.
The drug malaria hydroxychloroquine may be effective in treating coronavirus - a topic that has been hotly debated since US President Donald Trump's claim. Although the US Drug Enforcement Administration (FDA) has made it clear that there is no evidence of hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of coronavirus or in the treatment of this disease. On the contrary, it can cause serious heart abnormalities in many people.
Earlier, the European Union's drug regulator also issued a statement warning of side effects of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine.
But even then, President Donald Trump said, “I take one hydroxychloroquine every day. I think it's good. " Trump also said that many frontline activists in the Corona fight are using the drug regularly.
Within a week of his remarks, the World Health Organization (WHO) had instructed that tablets of Covid-19 patients be discontinued.
Tedros Adhanam Gabrieusus, the agency's director general, said a review of the safety of hydroxychloroquine in Covid-19 patients was under way, and that the agency's executives had decided to suspend the drug's use until further notice. However, the experimental application of other drugs approved in the world for the treatment of Covid-19 will continue, he said.
