== Hydroxychloroquine and coronavirus ==
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."<ref>[https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/features/off-label-drug-use-what-you-need-to-know#1 Off-Label Drug Use: What You Need to Know]</ref>

=== 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."<ref>[https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_a_combo_of_chloroquine_and_Zinc_a_cure_for_coronavirus Is a combo of chloroquine and Zinc a cure for coronavirus?]</ref>
