Trump Needs hydroxychloroquine, India Supplies hydroxychloroquine, An Indian Writer

The President of the U.S. is often found debating over hydroxychloroquine and its importance. But do you know what exactly the reason behind it is? Here is an insight to why Trump is looking for desperate measures in the medicine. 

Let’s begin with understanding what this drug is all about. 

What is Hydroxychloroquine?

It is an oral tablet sold under the brand name ‘Plaquenil.’ Majorly, it is prescribed for treating malaria and in some cases, recommended for treating lupus, porphyria cutanea tarda, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Where President Donald Trump is expecting hydroxychloroquine to turn as a boon for COVID-19, practitioners say inappropriate consumption of this drug can originate other health issues.
Side Effects of Hydroxychloroquine- 
  1. Dizziness
  2. Headache 
  3. Vomit
  4. Diarrhea 
  5. Stomach cramps 
  6. Hearing loss
  7. Muscle weakness
  8. Blurred vision 
  9. Sore throat 
  10. Mood swings 
At present, there are 435, 160 active cases of coronavirus in the United States sending a wave of panic all around the country. Seeing the situation going out of control, the President requested India to supply enough Hydroxychloroquine doses to treat COVID-19. 

On 4th April 2020, President Trump said something in support of Hydroxychloroquine. Here is what said- 
“I think people should – if it were me – in fact, I might do it anyway. I may take it. Okay? I may take it.”

A week ago, when Trump has had a word with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding Hydroxychloroquine supplies. He quoted- 
“I would be surprised if that were his decision. He’d have to tell me that. I spoke to him Sunday morning, called him, and I said we’d appreciate your allowing our supply to come out. If he doesn’t allow it to come out, that would be okay, but of course, there may be retaliation. Why wouldn’t there be?”

What Science Translational Medicine Says-

Where President Trump has been constantly asking for Hydroxychloroquine, research by ScienceTranslational Medicine is hardly sure if this drug will prove helpful in treating COVID-19. It may help to treat a few diseases in humans but cannot be referred to as a coronavirus medicine.
“I bought millions of doses. More than 29 million. I spoke to PM Modi, a lot of it comes out of India. I asked him if he would release it. He was great. He was really good. You know they put a stop because they wanted it for India. But there is a lot of good things coming from that."

Why Is President Trump Confident About Hydroxychloroquine?


Different stories are coming up on this context like- 
  • Trump has a personal financial motive as he owns stock in Sanofi (a well-recognized similar drug-making manufacturer)
  • Weeks ago, he discussed this matter with Mr. Ellison (Founder of Oracle) suggesting Hydroxychloroquine as a solution. 
  • Further, Dr. Mehmet Oz (host of “The Doctor Oz Show”) recommended Trump’s advisor on using this drug to fight back coronavirus. 
  • Sources say Mr. Giuliani (businessman running a medical supplies company) has left a huge impact on President Trump to go with this drug. 
After this, he visited the ‘Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,’ and said- 
“Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.”

I hope Hydroxychloroquine proves beneficial to treat coronavirus.
