Studies find potentially effective medicine for coronavirus treatment and prevention that's readily available

Good news! The drug is the well known, fairly harmless, and very cheap chloroquine! Now the FDA and EMA need to approve it to be applied to coronavirus patients!

"Multiple studies showed that the use of chloroquine to treat the coronavirus can lead to faster recovery and shorter hospital stays for patients.
Chloroquine is normally used as an anti-malarial drug ..."

"Notably, two compounds remdesivir (EC50 = 0.77 μM; CC50 > 100 μM; SI > 129.87) and chloroquine (EC50 = 1.13 μM; CC50 > 100 μM, SI > 88.50) potently blocked virus infection at low-micromolar concentration and showed high SI [SI = selectivity index, EC = effective concentration, CC = cytotoxic concentration]"

"Recent guidelines from South Korea and China report that chloroquine is an effective antiviral therapeutic treatment against Coronavirus Disease 2019.  Use of chloroquine (tablets) is showing favorable outcomes in humans infected with Coronavirus including faster time to recovery and shorter hospital stay.  US CDC research shows that chloroquine also has strong potential as a prophylactic (preventative) measure against coronavirus in the lab"

Studies find potentially effective medicine for coronavirus treatment and prevention that's readily available - TheBlaze: But it's not FDA-approved for that use

Apparently, What's up with that has first report it

Here are links to two of the quoted three research studies:

1. An Effective Treatment for Coronavirus (COVID-19)
2. Remdesivir and chloroquine effectively inhibit the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in vitro
