WHO reiterates that hydroxychloroquine should be reserved for randomized trials under clinical supervisionThe World Health Organization on Friday reiterated its stance on the drug hydroxychloroquine as it pertains to Covid-19: “Reserve it for randomized trials where it is approved for emergency use in clinical settings under close clinical supervision because of its potential side effects.”
“At the present time, there is no evidence from randomized controlled trials for the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine or in the treatment or prophylaxis against Covid-19," Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO’s health emergencies program, said during a media briefing in Geneva. Ryan said the drug is currently part of several trials, including WHO’s Solidarity Trial, “in order to prospectively see what value the drug has.”
But Ryan warned that several agencies around the world “have issued warnings indicating that the use of the drug should be reserved, even when it is used outside clinical trials for use in clinical settings under close clinical supervision because of the likely side effects, particularly patients with severe Covid-19 where people have noticed the emergence of cardiac complications including cardiac arrhythmias.
Earlier on Friday, a large observational study published in the medical journal The Lancet, said that seriously ill Covid-19 patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were more likely to die or develop dangerous heart arrhythmias.
