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)
Hydroxychloroquine and zinc
[edit]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)

[edit]
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)
Warning
[edit]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)
- 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)
- Moved the conversation to the talk page as per Wikipedia instructions for a dispute. You have not responded to my comments there. talk
Robbymcd, Got your massage. Also i saw your argument on the talk pages which is essentially the same as mines. As you are aware i have been barred from discussing this topic on Wiki, but dont expect to get serious answers on why some "lousy" studies are reported and others deleted, it will be just sand in your eyes.
Now to the fact that i got a topic ban, i am proud to have that on my record, not long would take for me to be proved right. BTW, i am aware on the risk that someone would interoperate my reply on your talk page as a violation of my topic ban...(yes it could get that bad) and sanction me for that... Its a risk i am ready to take. Berkshires (talk) 21:32, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
