Currently, no medical report is yet to confirm whether hydroxychloroquine can effectively cure coronavirus, although the drug is said to have certain properties that can stop the novel coronavirus from gaining entrance into the human cell membranes.
However, as the world is still in the race of finding a potential cure for the virus, hydroxychloroquine is still one of the medications being used in different countries for the treatment of coronavirus. For instance, President Donald Trump has ordered American hospitals to start using hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of coronavirus, even though the FDA has not fully approved the drug for the treatment of coronavirus.
Although, the health condition of the infected people seems to be getting better, however, hydroxychloroquine has only proven to be working in patients who are showing mild symptoms and those without any underlying health conditions. Before this time, hydroxychloroquine has been an effective drug in the treatment of malaria.
