I take this drug daily for Lupus and its a miracle drug for patients like me and for others with autoimmune disorders as it controls our symptoms. Despite all the horrible things people are posting about it, the drug is generally well tolerated with common side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, headaches, itching and insomnia to mention just a few. Its not so deadly that it can't be prescribed--thousands of us with Lupus take it just fine.

But because its a powerful drug it can have rare and significant adverse reactions as well. Its criminal how Trump is promoting hydroxychloroquine like its a new vitamin C or something. People who don't need this drug, or have conditions that prevent you from taking it (certain heart problems, epilepsy, kidney failure) can get seriously ill. And on top of that, now us folk who need the drug daily will again be facing shortages...

Just unbelievable...
