Breaking News

They just rushed someone into a hospital, he was unconscious

What happened? Went to drink a lot of chloroquine because they said chloroquine cures Coronavirus. Has been giving his kids too

Nigerians, every drug is a poison including chloroquine

Use your head

Yes, hydroxylchloroquine showed promise in some patients with the COVID19 infection.

But there is further testing before it's approved as a treatment for the new Coronavirus.

There are side effects of every drug. EVERY WHAT? EVERY DRUG.

You don't just get drugs and swallow

For chloroquine, some side effects are

Blindness
Headache
Drowsiness
Slow heart rate
Confusion
Seizures/convulsion
Unconsciousness

Death. Yes! Something that treats can also kill.

I understand you are scared, that's normal.

Don't start drinking because you heard. Please

Testing is still on

Dosage is being formed, don't assume that it's the same dose for malaria that will be used for this. We still do not know that

If you take it now, you are simply using yourself and your loved ones for experiments

Not everyone will be lucky to tell the story

Some people might have conditions like G6PD and taking chloroquine might cause massive destruction of their blood cells leading to anemia or very low blood levels.

It can even drop your blood sugar.

You have no business hoarding and keeping chloroquine. It is not a vaccine
