America's doctors doubt the drug for which Trump threatens India

Washington, Ta. April 7, 2020, Tuesday

The corona virus has infected the whole world. There is currently no vaccine to treat coronas. Doctors are using hydroxychloroquine medication commonly used for malaria to treat patients.

Hydroxychloroquine is needed for millions of coronary patients in the United States and this drug is widely available in India. US President Trump has threatened India if it does not send the drug to the US. The question is whether this drug is really effective in fighting corona. There is no solid evidence, say doctors and scientists.

According to him, no such information has been found. Yes, this drug is being used wherever corona is high. Trump has been insisting on the drug, but Dr. Anthony Fossey, director of the American National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, is protesting. According to him, the effect of the drug on the corona patient is questionable. In India, the drug is only allowed for people exposed to coronary patients and health workers.

"We do not have evidence that rates are effective in coronary disease," said Love Agarwal, Joint Secretary, Health Department. However, we have allowed health workers to take this medicine. Every drug has an effect, so it is important to follow the rules.

The United States Medical Association said in a statement to two other healthcare organizations in the country that some doctors are prescribing hydroxychloroquine for treatment. Which is worrying.
