I haven't looked farther than the linked article, but assuming their reporting is accurate:
> However, higher dose use of chloroquine (600 milligrams as opposed to 450 milligrams) was stopped after just six days, after 11 of patients who were given the greater dose died.
To me that reads as an increase of about 1.35x rather than 4x.
- bagacrap 6y ago600 mg chloroquine twice daily for 10 days or total dose 12g 450 mg for 5 days, twice daily only on the first day, or total dose 2.7 g
- post_below 6y agoThat 600mg part of the study ended at 6 days. The potential total dose in a future that didn't happen seems irrelevant.
