Even though Plaquenil(hydroxychloroquine) is indicated for malaria, it is also used off-label for mild to moderate RA, which I have. I have been on it for almost five months, it's cheap, and I have had no problem with side effects or efficacy. It would be really great if one of these autoimmune medicines could treat COVID-19.

It is a prescription drug so if you order online who knows what you are actually getting. I would be careful doing that.

That’s the beauty of international pharmacies. They can just skip the whole requirement of s prescription. It’s only a last resort.

And the ugliness about international pharmacies is the lack of oversight as to what you are getting. Your last resort could result in what you are trying to avoid.
