Hydroxychloroquine is ineffective for COVID and not to be used: WHO – Sydney Morning Herald
The recommendation is based on evidence from six randomised controlled trials with more than 6000 participants.
Geneva: Anti-inflammatory drug hydroxychloroquine should not be used in efforts to prevent COVID-19 infections, according to the World Health Organisation.
A WHO expert panel found that the medicine had no meaningful effect on deaths or hospitalisations and may even increase the risk of adverse effects, the group said in a statement on Wednesday AEDT.
