Hydroxychloroquine has been very effective in treating coronavirus.

Hydroxychloroqine (C18H26ClN3O), also known as hydroxychloroquine sulfate and HCQ, is a drug sold under the name Plaquenil.[1] It has been used by the doctor Vladimir Zelenko as a part of successful treatment for coronavirus and was recommended for such by President Trump (Dr. Zelenko also used antiobiotics and zinc as a part of his treatments to his patients).[2]

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows hydroxychloroquine to be used as an off-label coronavirus treatment.

According to WebMD.com: "The practice, called 'off-label" prescribing, is entirely legal and very common. More than one in five outpatient prescriptions written in the U.S. are for off-label therapies."[3]

Hydroxychloroquine allows zinc to penetrate the cellular wall to a larger degree.[4] Zinc is an antiviral.[5]

Zinc and coranavirus

According to the website ResearchGate.net: "Several studies have reported that zinc has a broad-spectrum antiviral activity against a variety of viruses. Increased intracellular Zinc concentrations inhibit RNA-dependent RNA polymerases and other proteins essential for the completion of different phases of the virus life cycle. Further, zinc also helps to maintain robust immune responses by producing cytokine and by modulation of immune cell activity."[6]
