The issues with eyes is retinopathy. It is the result of long term use . "Overall, around seven patients out of every 100 taking hydroxychloroquine for more than five years may develop retinopathy that can be detected with specialised tests. At this appointment, a number of photographs and scans will be taken of your retina to assess your eye health and your suitability for screening."That's FIVE years! The half life is up to 2 full days so it will accumulate if taken daily. You can just quit for a while. I haven't looked into the mechanism that causes retinopathy, but generally what you need to repair eye degradation is DHA (omega-3 fatty acid) and vitamin A. You can also use astaxanthin to protect and even improve your eyesight (a big secret the optometrist would rather you not know!).
@Rick
I just ordered through Sunil. As mentioned, he was a fast communicator. He has other drugs too so I grabbed azith as well (as per a few of the studies that showed promise for HCQ)
Consider what other relatively safe medicines you might also want. I grabbed enough HCQ/azith to treat my family twice accoring to the protocols and shipping costs were still more than half of the overall price I paid.
On that note, does PP have a list of recommonded “where there are no doctors” type medicines to have on hand? If I were more organized I would have grabbed everything in one go.
Hi wotthecurtains- Did you pay using transferwise? I have the same issue that thatchmo brought up, being uncomfortable with giving them my social security number. Thanks!
Edit: Here’s an article I found on information requirements for international money (currency:) transfers. It also provides a table with various money transfer providers and their information requirements. “Sending a money transfer: What information is required?”
Chris does show what he takes at the end of many of his videos
Dr Mercola is another source for a list of helpful supplements
on July 9 Mohammed Mast had a good list
Thanks for the replies …we are new to community appreciate the help and ideas…the idea of 2 rounds for spouse and self is great plus picking up the Azith
Has anyone taken the HCQ and know it works or is actually HCQ as we would expect?
So I am thinking that we need 800 mg day one and 400mg for 9 days after that does that sound about right? Thus about 100 200mg pills should be a good stash - though they are so cheap maybe 200 is better and have extras. We keep stocked with zinc and quercetin too.
How about the Azith - any help here would be appreciated?? I do not know dosage on that …I am sure it on a post somewhere on the site but have not come across yet. do you take everyday along with the HCQ?
thank you…will post on our experience and receipt
Sounds very fishy to me. Do not divulge your date of birth and social security number! It could lead to identity fraud.
A reminder that “they” have controlled the narrative of 9/11 for 19 years and gotten away with it. Not a good sign for the HCQ story.

We keep stocked with zinc and quercetin too.800mg sounds too high - most reports say 600mg twice a day is the high-dose treatment for hospitalized patients (who are generally in a more advanced stage of disease progression). If it's prophylaxis you can use even just 100mg a day, because the half-life is about 2 days, so it accumulates. As for azithromycin, I wouldn't take it if I'm at home, but it makes sense to use it in hospitals to eliminate the confounding factor of co-infections by opportunistic bacteria. Over 95% of people who died from the Spanish Flu died more directly from bacterial co-infection (in a time before antibiotics).

Not a good sign for the HCQ story.The situation is quite different as today we have social media, Youtube, smartphones... and they have totally obliterated their credibility to anyone but their mind-controlled NPC slaves. And they're censoring all of us, no matter if you're a group of doctors with hands-on experience... They're waging all-out war on us in our faces...
Zelenko uses 400mg per day for 5 days. Fwiw
thanks…we will try and order today and repost once we know more
Hopefully this is not all repetitive elsewhere on this site (if it is maybe you can point us in the direction too) but here is info we found today on a French study with a link to site
The Process:
Patients with COVID-19 infection are treated with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.
Plaquenil 200mg x3/day (10 days), and azithromycine 250mg for five days, twice the first day, then once for the next four days.
In order to avoid cardiac problems, an ECG is done before starting treatment, and in order to assess lung damage, a low-dose CT scan is performed.
The evaluation of the virological effect consists of a PCR before inclusion, with the quantification of the viral load on a nasopharyngeal sample, and a PCR on D5 to verify that the virus is undetectable or at levels too low to present a contagious risk.

Thought this might be interesting for folks.
I purchased one with the idea to track my QT interval expecting that I would use HCQ at some point.
There is a personal 6Lead Ekg device on the market called a Kardia.
https://www.alivecor.com/kardiamobile6l
It is FDA approved for taking an EKG that will provide the information needed for QTc measurement. A cardiologist is needed to calculate the QTc as the device will not provide that information directly.
Kardia has a monthly service (kardiacare) where a Cardiologist will analyze the outputs each month. I emailed them and asked if that service would provide the QTc. They indicated that it would not.
Chloroquine Phosphate 500mg. = 300mg. base
https://www.uptodate.com/contents/chloroquine-drug-information
This is for prophylaxis.
My doc said he would write an order for HCQ if testing positive, but sometimes results take over a week to get back. I went ahead and ordered thru A.S. Enterprises as well. Sunil shipped same day payment was received. Also ordered Z-pack and Ivermectin. Have enough for multiple treatments and/or family members. Just hope it is received timely.
I usede Transerwise. I paid by Visa. I was never asked for a SS type number (but Im in Canada). Transferwise did want my DOB which I filled in in the hopes it would make my CC more likely to be accepted
Has anyone come across the dosing for chloroquine? It comes in 250mg tabs. I’m thinking initial dose of 500mg then 250 mg twice daily x 5 days but I’m just guessing.
Thanks wotthecurtains. That makes sense. I think the need for the SSN may be a US requirement. Sigh!! But I am glad you were able to use transferwise successfully!
Thanks, now let’s see if they ship me anything ?
After 1.5 months my HCQ order from Sunil finally cleared Canadian customs.

Long but worth the overview and some pithy observations:
“The crisis of the global pandemic intersected with a crisis of belief, with opposing scientific ideas somehow getting tethered to political ideologies.”
“The foxes all run their own chicken-coop businesses.”
“Some researchers still think the drug might have a small, as yet unproven effect if used early enough, or in a different amount. It’s possible, and it’s also possible no one will ever know.”
