Covid-19 treatment update: follow the scientific evidence 2020-04-27 .txt text/plain 4514 222 40 The SNS exists under the authority of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and accepted 30 million doses of hydroxychloroquine sulfate donated by Sandoz™, the Novartis™ generics and biosimilars division, and one million doses of chloroquine phosphate donated by Bayer Pharmaceuticals™ for potential use in treating patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 or for use in clinical trials. The adverse effects associated with taking hydroxychloroquine are similar to those observed with chloroquine and include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, AV conduction defects, a prolonged QTc interval with torsades de pointe ventricular tachycardia, hypokalemia, hypotension and circulatory collapse. Similarly, patients with Covid-19 for whom a clinician believes that either chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine is indicated must receive information, preferably in the form of a fact sheet that clearly summarized the dose, duration of treatment, potential risks, side-effects and drug-drug interactions. ./cache/cord-311730-189vax2m.txt ./txt/cord-311730-189vax2m.txt
