NEW YORK : An eminent Indian-American doctor has said that hydroxychloroquine, which President Donald Trump took to ward off the COVID-19, is given under medical supervision and any side-effect can be addressed, acknowledging that the drug has become a victim of politics in the US.
Last week, President Trump disclosed that he was taking the antimalarial drug despite medical warnings about the potential serious side effects.
The drug was taken by him to ward off the coronavirus and was taken after consulting the White House doctor. Dr Bharat Barai said that he has seen some media reports and doctors criticising the President and severely amplifying the side-effects of hydroxychloroquine.
