More is not always better. The normal dose of HCQ is 200 to 400 mg a day. For purposes of preventing malaria, it may be taken just once a week. Study participants in a study sponsored by the WHO were given more than 2,000 mg to 4,000 mg of HCQ a day. That’s up to ten times the usual dose.
For comparison, Dr. Zelenko uses a normal dose of HCQ in his COVID-19 treatment protocol.
According to David Jayne, professor of clinical autoimmunity at Cambridge University:
“Hydroxychloroquine overdose is associated with cardiovascular, neurological, and other toxicities, occurring with doses over 1500 mg, and higher doses are associated with fatality.”
In an article for the BMJ found here co-head of the Recovery Trial Martin Landray explained:
“The dose comes from modelling by Nick White, professor of tropical medicine at the University of Oxford, and his team, who have extensive experience with this drug.”
Why would a study of a drug be conducted utilizing dosing far exceeding the usual amounts listed on the insert?
Why would they then say that the drug was unsafe when it had been considered safe for several decades?
Was that the purpose in choosing the dosing in the first place?
Why is the word “solidarity” in the study’s title?
