Those people are so confident in their complete ignorance and wrongness.

Two chemists go into a bar. The first one says "I think I'll have an H2O." The second one says "I think I'll have an H2O too" — and he died.

For demostratively false stories, media retractions should go like this. We apologize for broadcasting false information. We were wrong. The person responsible for this spreading this falsehood was ..(name names). The facts in context are ... Then force them to repeat this at least as long as thre lies were reported. Multiple offenders will have their broadcast license put in time out.

Chloroquine (phosphate) and hydroxychloroquine are 2 distinct drugs. Both are used to treat malaria (and other things). Both are being tried/used with COVID-19.

Chloroquine (phosphate) is also the active ingredient in an aquarium treatment used to kill certain harmful parasites. It is the same ingredient as human chloroquine. The organism which causes malaria is a parasite.

Hydroxychloroquine is a newer drug and is safer (less side effects) in humans than chloroquine. It is also more widely available.

This is important so can we get some clarity here from someone who can explain it thoroughly?

I can’t find anything that says hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine phosphate are the same thing.

https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Chloroquine-phosphate

https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/3652

They’re not listed as synonyms on pubchem.

They do say that chloroquine phosphate is the phosphate salt of chloroquine which makes it a different molecule obviously, but nothing that explains the relationship of that salt to hydroxychloroquine.

Could a chemist or the like provide more insight?

Not a chemist, but the treatment that works is hydroxychloroquine sulphate.

Hydroxychloroquine phosphate is the fish tank cleaning solution, which is what those morons ingested.

SPEZ : According to more knowledgeable pedes, hydroxychloroquine phosphate is used but not recommended for medical use because it has too many side effects.

That’s what I’ve read too. Maybe I’m not understanding the post. The only way it makes sense to me is if =/= means ‘not equal to’. Edit: that is what it means - I’ll leave all this up in case I’m not the only one confused.

The both obviously contain chloroquine.

The Phosphate version, which was in the tank cleaner (among other things) has been tested and is FDA approved to treat malaria, etc.

However, they use hydroxychloroquine because it has less side effects and is more effective.

I'm not sure if you are confused with me using "=/=" which means not equal?

I was, and thank you for the additional detail.

THEY'RE NOT THAT DIFFERENT, they're basically the same.

the guy took the right chemical, he's just a dumb asshole who didn't think about dosing. If we're going to talk shit pedes let's get it right.

They ate fishbowl detergent. What are we even talking about. It's not for human consumption. One ingredient doesn't cancel out the other toxic shit in it. An entire generation got mocked because some idiots were eating Tide pods but leftists are going to go to bat for two people that ate fishbowl detergent to spin it around to make Trump look bad.

It's an antiparasitic

The chloroquine phosphate in the fish bowl cleaner is the exact same chloroquine that is prescribed to humans. As for "other toxic shit" it may surprise you to learn that things which are toxic to humans are also generally toxic to fish. More so, in a lot of cases. These people died because they're idiots who tried to self-medicate with a drug that is notoriously difficult to dose correctly, not because they took the wrong thing.

One atom difference makes the chemical completely different. One is a phosphate, the other is a sulfate.

That's like saying you can drink water (H2O) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) because they're not that different.

Chloroquine phosphate is a human drug. It's not widely used because it seems to have more side effects than the other versions. This case is either an overdose or the wife was trying to kill the husband.

Good take.

Yeah phophate is used, but that is not what the CDC is recommending:

No U. Take your own advice. One is significantly less toxic.
