Background: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZM) are widely used in off-label treatment of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
In another study, when a lower dose of 200 mg of HCQ twice daily was added to basic treatment, mortality of even critically ill patients was significantly reduced [64]
However, the FDA states hydroxychloroquine should not be used outside of clinical trials in the U

However, in essence, Vero E6 cells were maintained in medium supplemented with low levels of serum and infected with SARS‐CoV‐2 virus at a multiplicity Azithromycin, a frequently used macrolide antibiotics lacks strong pharmacodynamic evidence of iKr inhibition
This systematic review and network meta‐analysis summarized the current evidence on the efficacy of chloroquine or its derivative HCQ combined with or without AZ on the COVID‐19 infection
On day 5, haptoglobin was below detection level, total bilirubin was 4
Potential therapies and means of prophylaxis against COVID-19 are urgently needed to combat this novel infection
Keywords Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), Ivermectin, and other COVID-19 medications can be obtained by prescription in the USA in almost every state
In addition, vitamin D levels are an important indicator of the severity of symptoms in patients with COVID-19
The study concluded that there were no notable differences in mortality of the hospitalized COVID-19 patients with or without treatment of HCQ+azithromycin, HCQ Zinc added to HCQ and azithromycin resulted in a significantly increased number of patients being discharged, a reduction in mortality, or transfer to hospice
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 200mg 2 times a day for 5-7 days ( ScienceDirect) and/or
Azithromycin added to the efficacy of HCQ and all patients treated with the combination tested negative after 6 days Participants were randomly assigned to receive hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) (400 mg BID x1day, followed by 200 mg BID x9days) with or without azithromycin (AZ) (500 mg, then 250 mg daily x4days) or placebo-equivalent (ascorbic acid (HCQ) and folic acid (AZ)), stratified by risk for progression to severe COVID-19 (high-risk vs
no treatment controls in 6, 14, and 15 subjects, respectively
We retrospectively report the clinical management of 3,737 screened patients, including 3,119 (83
One study has demonstrated that the combination of HCQ and azithromycin (AZ) inhibits SARS-CoV-2 in vitro [6]
We use a mechanistic lung model to demonstrate that accumulation of chloroquine (CQ), hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and azithromycin (AZ) in the lungs is sensitive to changes in lung pH, a parameter that can be affected in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Hydroxychloroquine is used to treat discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus)
Azithromycin 500 mg # 5 (or Z pack) or
In India, azithromycin is typically utilized to treat a range of conditions, including acute respiratory tract infections, bacterial dysentery, and enteric fever [ 5 ]
On the contrary, HCQ and azithromycin were both found to substantially reduce cardiac mortality and also decrease thrombosis, arrhythmia and cholesterol in treated patients in recent peer-reviewed studies and meeting presentations
Background: Hydroxychloroquine has shown potential to block viral replication of SARS-CoV-2 in some in vitro studies
Four trials (1942 patients: HCQ = 1271; placebo = 671) used HCQ as a prophylactic medication pre-exposure to COVID-19, two (1650 patients: HCQ = 821; placebo = 829) as a prophylactic medication post-exposure to COVID-19, three (1018 patients: HCQ = 497; placebo = 521) as treatment for non-hospitalized patients, and HCQ is well absorbed, hits peak levels all over the body in only 4 hours and is especially concentrated in lung tissues
Findings of this observational study provide crucial data on experience with hydroxychloroquine therapy, providing necessary interim guidance for COVID-19

Many recent studies have investigated the role of either Chloroquine (CQ) or Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) alone or in combination with azithromycin (AZM) in the
Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study, patients who received hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of pneumonia associated with COVID-19 were at high risk of QTc
Chloroquine, and its more contemporary derivative hydroxychloroquine, have remained in clinical use for more than a half-century as an effective therapy for
40-word summary: Zinc sulfate added to hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin may improve outcomes among hospitalized patients
This systematic review and network meta‐analysis summarized the current evidence on the efficacy of chloroquine or its derivative HCQ combined with or without AZ on the COVID‐19 infection
Hospitalization and early treatment with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin (HCQ-AZ) was proposed for the positive cases
Then, the role of each individual drug (HCQ, AZ or IVM) was analyzed regardless of the prescription of any of the other two drugs
Our physicians know that HCQ and Zinc are effective both prophylactically and when used early
A literature search was conducted to collate EC 50 values for CQ, HCQ, and AZ determined in vitro
HCQ and azithromycin were started on the admission and on day 2, the patient’s condition worsened with Hb dropped to 11
Potential therapies and means of prophylaxis against COVID-19 are urgently needed to combat this novel infection
Of the total drug interactions, 189 are major, 270 are moderate, and 3 are minor
Treatment with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), zinc, and azithromycin (AZM), also known as the Zelenko protocol, and treatment with intravenous (IV) vitamin C (IVC) have shown encouraging results in a large number of trials worldwide
Hydroxychloroquine treatment appears to have no increased risk in the short term among patients with rheumatoid arthritis, but in the long term it appears to be associated with excess cardiovascular mortality
