Chloroquine is the active ingredient. The phosphate is like the chloride in sodium chloride. Like doctors recommend reducing salt intake. They are concerned with the sodium, not the chloride.
The problem was they overdosed on chloroquine, taking a whole teaspoon each. Many more milligrams than therapeutic dose.
came here to say this - CQ phosphate not really that different, medically, than CQ. and exactly as you point out, it was an OD. same as if you took several grams of tylenol, you'd probably lose a chunk of your liver. also, i'd imagine there are far fewer safety concerns since this was not made in a lab.
Chloroquine phosphate is a medically available alternative to Plaquenil in the for of Aralen. It's chemical properties are entirely different from AQUARIUM CHLOROQUINE PHOSPHATE.

Thanks for that info. Would edit if I could. May delete this post to avoid misleading.
