The warning of Professor Raoult. In a new video published this Tuesday by the IHU of Marseille, Professor Raoult warns of possible dangers linked to self-medication with hydroxychloroquine.

"Be careful don't self-prescribe this, especially a doctor must prescribe it for you." You need to have an EKG, to test the potassium in your blood. You shouldn't improvise, they are all the same drugs, and therefore you have to be careful, ”warns the professor.

Several cases of hospitalization in serious conditions have been listed in France following the taking of hydroxychloroquine in self-medication, as alerted the ARS of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Hydroxychloroquine is the subject of a worldwide debate after Professor Didier Raoult announced "the end of the game" for Covid-19 thanks to this molecule. He advocates the use of hydroxychloroquine, in combination with the antibiotic Azithromycin, for the treatment of patients with Covid-19, before the onset of respiratory complications. His peers, however, point to important methodological problems in his studies.
