Findings in favor of treating COVID-19 infections with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) + azithromycin (AZM)

  • In a French open-label non-randomized clinical trial, more patients treated with HCQ + AZM tested negative for COVID-19 by day 6 after inclusion in study

  • In vitro testing revealed synergistic effect of combined HCQ and AZM on SARS-CoV-2

  • A retrospective Detroit study using data from the Henry Ford Medical Group found that HCQ + AZM treatment was effective. However, this stipulates that the treatment is aggressive and giving patients dosages within 48 hr of patient admission as opposed to waiting.
