The main dangers for the general public are the acute toxicity and drug interactions. Take chloroquine, which comes in 500mg tablets, it does not take many tablets to get to toxic or even lethal dose. The drugs can prolong QT intervals, so combination with other drugs with similar side effects like some antibiotics or antidepressants could be dangerous.

Since we don't know exactly where the antiviral effect comes from, these are only guess works.
