Hydroxiklorokina (hydroxychloquine) sold under the name Plaquenil ʹ and also used for the treatment of arthritis and other diseases ) was found to be effective in killing the deadly virus in a laboratory experiment, Forbes reported, in Albanian Perskopi.

Forbes quoted findings published on March 9 in the Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases.

“We predict that the drug has a good potential to defeat the disease,” the authors of the study, mostly from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Wuhan.

And now, French researchers have completed a major and successful test using this drug, approved for use in the U.S. in 1955 to treat patients confirmed by coronarys, according to the study.

A total of 35 patients were treated in the study, led by Didier Raoul, an infectious disease expert from an institute in Marseille, France.

The group of patients were given 600 milligrams of Plaquenil per day.

Researchers found that 50 percent of the group treated when tested for the disease had again proved negative even though pretested positively.

By the sixth day, 70 percent of the patients confirmed by coronarys proved negative. /Periscope
