This is what I wish was experimented with more, low doses of HCQ. Chloroquine is a very harsh medicine. China experimented with up to a full gram per day, but only one small study. That they never did this again is telling.
Johns Hopkins University found that 400 mg / day HCQ is safe for long term use, given in two doses. HCQ has like 5x lower side effect profile than the older chloroquine, but its still strong stuff! Nothing lower than that even tried in the US that I'm aware of.
