Regarding Hydroxychloroquine, in the "adverse effects" section, please add this latest publication from Oxford University Press, Journal of Public Health.

"HyPE study: hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis-related adverse events’ analysis among healthcare workers during COVID-19 pandemic: a rising public health concern" link - https://academic.oup.com/jpubhealth/advance-article/doi/10.1093/pubmed/fdaa074/5850534?searchresult=1

This study was conducted among health care workers in India, who were taking Hydroxychloroquine for prophylaxis against COVID-19.

It showed an increased no of gastrointestinal side effects. Although cardiac adverse events were nonserious in nature. The study group hypothesized that the increased side effects may be due to these factors : "In our study, a relatively higher incidence of side-effects was found in comparison with other studies which involved patients with connective tissue disorders, on prolonged hydroxychloroquine maintenance therapy. Even though the reason remains elusive, one can probably argue that the study subjects here were apparently asymptomatic, in contrary to the common scenario where patients with rheumatological conditions suffering from a myriad of distressing symptoms take this drug along with multiple others. This perhaps exerts a masking effect on the adverse effects caused by hydroxychloroquine per se. The symptomatic relief obtained from the therapeutic effect of the drug in such cases seems to outweigh the adverse symptoms caused by it in an overwhelming majority of cases. The other way to interpret the probable cause of this is the added component of panic engulfing a significant proportion of frontline personnel as they face the challenging task of managing patients, and at the same time, seeing fellow healthcare workers succumbing to the same disease they have been entrusted to treat. In addition, there is a confounding factor of a comparatively wider knowledge base about the drug, which probably enhances the interpretation of symptoms resulting in a broader array of adverse events." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drmmsamim (talk • contribs)

This is a primary study, we try to summarize review papers. You can suggest additions of new review articles over at the article's talk page. – Thjarkur (talk) 20:51, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hydroxychloroquine and zinc

Also refuted at this article's talk page and here. An opinion article without a WP:MEDASSESS review is insufficient support for the content you want to add. Also, do not edit war, WP:WAR, but try for consensus on the talk page, WP:CON. Experienced medical editors are unlikely to agree with you on this topic. Zefr (talk) 19:21, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

June 2020

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Hydroxychloroquine, you may be blocked from editing. Zefr (talk) 00:30, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

Warnings are not tit-for-tat, Robbymcd. Please immediately cease abusing the the template. Note that you may come under a topic ban from the COVID-19 topic area, broadly construed (per WP:GS/COVID19), if your edits are deemed to be a problem. El_C 13:07, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, don't enter disputes on a user's page, as you did on mine here; see WP:TALKNO. Keep the conversation about hydroxychloroquine on its own talk page, where I have provided enough information for other editors to participate. One editor is not responsible for all content and sources in the article. Zefr (talk) 16:30, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moved the conversation to the talk page as per Wikipedia instructions for a dispute. You have not responded to my comments there. talk

General sanctions alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
