Hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19: A Controversial Treatment
This research examines the potential effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), an antimalarial drug, in treating COVID-19. The study conducted a case-control study, comparing the outcomes of patients who received HCQ to those who did not. The results suggest that HCQ does not improve the severity of COVID-19 and may even slow recovery time and prolong hospitalization. This finding challenges earlier reports suggesting HCQ's efficacy and highlights the importance of rigorous scientific evidence in guiding treatment decisions.
