<p>The company said it <em>“will continue to donate the medicine to governments and hospital institutions if ongoing clinical studies demonstrate its efficacy and safety in Covid-19 patients”</em>.</p>
<p>But it also warned that hydroxychloroquine has “several serious known side-effects” and tests are so far inconclusive over its safety and efficacy in treating Covid-19.</p>
<p><em>“While hydroxychloroquine is generating a lot of hope for patients around the world, it should be remembered that there are no results from ongoing studies, and the results may be positive or negative,”</em> it said.</p>
<p>US President Donald Trump has been among the drug’s proponents, tweeting that hydroxychloroquine plus an antibiotic could be <em>“one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine”</em> and should “<em>be put in use immediately”</em>.</p>
