Hello,

You can write some more details such if you have fever, coughing, difficulty breathing, body aches.

Have you had close contact to a covid positive person.

How was your body temperature and blood oxygen saturation.

I’m sorry that it did not save my details. I am a 50-year-old female and have not been exposed to Covid to my knowledge. I was prescribed hydrocloroquin In January because my husband was Covid positive and I was experiencing symptoms but I was tested negative at that time.

While waiting for current results, I am trying to find out the safety of the medicine, what it is actually used for and whether it’s safe with Zyrtec Synthroid metoperolol, losartan.I have HBP and O2 was 98, temp 99.5. Mainly sore throat and fatigue symptoms.

What are the total blood count, formula, ddimer, please? Thank you. Cheryl

Brief Answer:
Not need to use hydrocloroquin.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I think that taking hydroxycloroquin at this time for covid19 is useless and not helpful.
I don't think it can be a treatment for persons suspected for covid19 and neither for the symptoms you are currently having.
The symptoms you are having are mild and you seems to be in a stable state.
I believe you don't need to use hygrocloroquin with this symptoms or if suspected with covid19.
