Question: Does the chloroquine phosphate I can purchase online treat COVID-19 symptoms?

Short answer: definitely not, please don’t ingest non-prescription chloroquine phosphate. Chloroquine phosphate, when used without a prescription and supervision of a healthcare provider, can cause serious health consequences, including death. Currently, chloroquine phosphate is being studied and evaluated as treatment for COVID-19 and was just approved by the FDA this week under emergency authority for short-term use by doctors to treat COVID-19 patients. Our team urges patients to proceed with caution before believing rumors like this one related to COVID-19.
