'''Hydroxychloroqine''' (C<sub>18</sub>H<sub>26</sub>ClN<sub>3</sub>O), also known as '''HCQ''', is an inexpensive medication sold under the name '''Plaquenil'''.<ref>[https://www.drugs.com/plaquenil.html Plaquenil Uses, etc. - Drugs.com]</ref> Prior to [[COVID-19]] it was most commonly used to treat [[malaria]], and also currently to treat lupus. The package insert for Plaquenil describes its mostly minor potential side effects,<ref>https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2017/009768s037s045s047lbl.pdf</ref> some of which occur at much higher doses than what is used to treat COVID-19.

It has been allegedly used by the physician [[Vladimir Zelenko|Dr. Vladimir Zelenko]] as a part of supposedly successful treatment for [[coronavirus]] but this is in no way verified. It was, unfortunately, recommended for such by [[President Trump]] (see: [[Vladimir Zelenko's coronavirus treatment]]). Specifically, Dr. Zelenko used hydroxychloroqine, azithromycin (an antibiotic) and zinc as a part of his treatments to his patients.<ref>Marchione, Marilynn (March 23, 2020).

[[Opposition to Donald Trump|Never-Trump]]ers in government and hospitals block early use of this medication is justified as the alleged experiments and treatments are anecdotal at best. Rightfully, it is either withheld it from patients entirely or delay it until the end stage of the patient's life when medications are least effective. Other governments (such as Texas), wanting to make sure current patients had a supply for their pre-existing medical needs, permitted it only with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
