In reply to the discussion: FDA SAYS HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE AND CHLOROQUINE CAN BE USED TO TREAT CORONAVIRUS [View all]Steelrolled
(2,022 posts)67. Key paragraphs from the FDA letter...
I recommend reading the letter (see post above).
I have concluded, pursuant to Section 564(d)(3) of the Act, based on the totality of scientific
evidence available to FDA, that it is reasonable to believe that chloroquine phosphate and
hydroxychloroquine sulfate may be effective for the treatment of COVID-19, when used
consistently with the Scope of Authorization of this letter (Section II), pursuant to Section
564(c)(2)(A) of the Act.
Having reviewed the scientific information available to FDA, including the information
supporting the conclusions described in Section I of this letter, I have concluded that chloroquine
phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate (as described in the Scope of Authorization of this letter
(Section II)) meets the criteria set forth in Section 564(c) of the Act concerning safety and potential
effectiveness.
