It can cause vision loss in some cases for instance).
The study showed the combination reduced PCR levels to 10% in 3 days and almost zero in five. The combination was better than hydroxychloroquine alone at doing this, not sure why.


I am clearly NOT a doctor, so take this for what it is worth. I went to high school with a guy who is a doctor in our hometown and there must be some kind of study out there floating around because he posted on his facebook yesterday to not start calling his office asking for those specific drugs that you mentioned for exactly the reasons you stated. I, blessedly, am not sick and on top of that, I am not a medicine taker anyway. I don't like to take stuff unless I absolutely HAVE to, so I won't be running out asking for anything, but if this is an effective drug, let's save it for those who really need it unless there is an endless supply for everyone.
