World Health Organization Halts Trials Of Hydroxychloroquine

The World Health Organization announced they are temporarily suspending clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine.

The controversial drug has been used as an experimental coronavirus treatment for the past several months.

Now, amid mounting safety concerns experts are ending all clinical trials involving the medication.

According to Gizmodo, testing for hydroxychloroquine has been halted pending a safety assessment.

A recent study has linked the drug to an increased risk of death and heart conditions among COVID-19 patients.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced last week that he has been taking the drug for nearly 2 weeks as a preventative.

There is no data that supports Hydroxychloroquine is a preventive medication for COVID-19.
