Title A name given to the resource The role of hydroxychloroquine sulfate in the geriatric patient with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). What is useful to know for the geriatrician? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ciro Manzo Description An account of the resource The role of hydroxychroloquine (HCQ) sulfate as therapeutic option in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients aroused great interest and hope, so much so as to authorize several studies in the world. Despite the beneficial effects demonstrated in vitro and in some case-series, doubts remain about its clinical use, so that at present more than 20 different therapeutic study protocols have been proposed. Very recently, a protocol has been authorized by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA), in order to evaluate the efficacy of out-of-hospital treatment with HCQ in the reducing viral loads and need for hospitalization in symptomatic COVID-19 infected patients who are confined at home. The article describes lights and shadows of HCQ therapy in the elderly and geriatric patients affected by COVID-19, and suggests that the geriatrician should use HCQ only after careful patient selection and be aware of its pharmacokinetic properties and adverse effects, before better-designed studies determine their benefit, if any, in treating COVID-19.
