US has accepted 30 mln doses of hydroxychloroquine sulfate donated by Novartis's Sandoz as possible treatments for COVID-19

 

US HHS says it has accepted 30 mln doses of hydroxychloroquine sulfate donated by Novartis's Sandoz as possible treatments for COVID-19 patients.

 

Hydroxychloroquine, as well as a related drug, chloroquine, have been evaluated for use against COVID-19 in clinical trials around the world. Hydroxychloroquine is a derivative of chloroquine and is reported to be a less toxic form of the latter drug. US President Donald Trump has been in favour of the use of the chloroquine against the disease based on early data evaluating its efficacy against the novel coronavirus disease.
