> Hydroxychloroquine seems to have decent results as well (though with side effects) according to the most recent meta analyses.
From link:
> In conclusion, this meta-analysis clearly shows that HCQ alone is not effective for the treatment of Covid-19 patients and that the combination of HCQ and AZI increases the risk of mortality.
> Failure of HCQ to show viral clearance or clinical benefits with additional adverse effects outweigh its protective effect from radiological progression in non-severe Covid-19 patients.
> HCQ is associated with more total AEs [adverse effects], gastrointestinal AEs, and skin and subcutaneous tissue AEs compared with placebo or no intervention in the overall population
If by decent result you mean "it certainly does something but it's not even clear if it's good or bad", then sure, it's decent.
HCQ is still being studied as it might be useful it some particular scenarios, but its general use is discouraged and understandably so.
