The trial pause comes the day after the president revealed he was no longer taking the unproven coronavirus treatment and prevention method that health experts and officials—including within the Trump administration—have warned not to use.
The World Health Organization announced Monday that it was pausing an ongoing trial of how hydroxychloroquine impacts hospitalized COVID-19 patients over safety concerns of the anti-malaria drug—medicine that President Donald Trump said he was taking for at least two weeks.
The trial halt comes the day after Trump revealed in an interview with Sinclair Broadcasting that he was no longer taking the unproven coronavirus treatment and prevention method that health experts and officials—including within the Trump administration—have warned not to take outside hospital or clinical trial settings because of its potentially deadly side effects. The president has repeatedly batted down health warnings while doling out positive—and inaccurate—praise for the drug.
Trump first disclosed he was taking hydroxychloroquine on May 18, despite the repeated warnings about the drug for coronavirus. The Food and Drug Administration has approved its usage for malaria butusing it for coronavirus treatment or prevention and that it should only be used by patients who are hospitalized or part of an ongoing clinical trial. Hydroxychloroquine could cause abnormal heart rhythms, among other things, the FDA cautions.
