PSMID would like to express its strong statement against the use of CHLOROQUINE or HYDROXCHLOROQUINE should not be used for prophylaxis.

There is no high quality evidence that these will prevent COVID19. These drugs should be used cautiously because of the possible side effects.

LET’S NOT TAKE AWAY STOCKS OF CHLOROQUINE FROM THOSE WHO REALLY NEED IT!
