Not really. HCQ is the one that matters, but you have to take it early. Once you've had the disease for a while and there's some damage and systemic stress, you need azithromycin to fight secondary infections that arise. The zinc is there to boost immune response and to help your body fight back, but if you take the HCQ early enough, you won't need the other two.
I agree with not requiring azithro unless things get bad, but a potential mechanism of hydroxychloroquine is acting as a zinc ionophore to bring zinc inside the airway cells where it can inhibit viral replication via inhibition of CoV RNA polymerases.
If you get it, demand HCQ and go to GNC for some zinc.
Need all three. Hcq + ZPAK + Zinc
