New Jersey doctor gives update on use of hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir on coronavirus patients
We are using hydroxychloroquine as an off-label use,” Varga said on Monday. “We use it for our intubated patients for the most part. We’re also using it for some of our nursing home patients because that's a group that you don't want to get sick, don't want to it to spread because they're so vulnerable.”
“And the other trial that we are looking at right now that we hope to get launched later this week, we’ve actually had it fast-tracked up until now, is actually using hydroxychloroquine for what we call chemoprophylaxis or prevention for front-line caregivers,” he added.
Chemoprophylaxis refers to the administration of a medication to prevent the development of a disease, according to Medicinenet.com.
