Why Is HCQ so important for India? Is it because now access to drugs becomes so important? It is made in India, it is also cheap.
Any drug that is going to be useful is the best option for any country across the world. All countries are looking for options for prevention and treatment. You have seen recent data from India that adds to the data that has made us make a policy for using this drug as prevention. If HCQ becomes the best choice for treatment, nothing like it because the whole world wants a cheap oral medicine with a good safety record, both for prevention and treatment. Lopinavir is the other drug which is widely available and we have experience with it because it is used for HIV, but we need more randomised controlled trials before we can tell you about which drug proves to be useful. The last arm is lopinavir along with interferon beta 1a (used to treat multiple sclerosis).
