Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the dose matter for eye safety?

Doses above 5 mg/kg are associated with a substantially higher long-term risk of retinopathy: roughly 2% at 10 years and 20% at 20 years at or below 5 mg/kg, rising to roughly 10% at 10 years and 40% at 20 years above it.

Is hydroxychloroquine used for COVID-19?

No. Major health authorities have found no benefit for COVID-19, and its emergency authorization for that use was revoked. This calculator covers its established uses such as malaria, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Is this a substitute for medical advice?

This tool is for educational reference only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always confirm dosing with a doctor or pharmacist before giving or taking any medication.
