President Trump on Wednesday afternoon said he will finish his treatment of hydroxychloroquine in “about two days” -- just days after he announced that he was taking the antimalarial drug as a preventative against the novel coronavirus. If Trump finishes his treatment of hydroxychloroquine on Friday, it would mark 14 days from the time that Vice President Mike Pence’s Press Secretary Katie Miller tested positive for COVID-19. PENCE SAYS HE'S NOT TAKING HYDROXYCHLOROQUINEThe antimalaria drug hydroxychloroquine can cause heart rhythm problems and other side effects. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has said hydroxychloroquine should only be used to treat coronavirus in formal studies. After Trump on Monday made his comments that he was taking hydroxychloroquine, many doctors urged Americans that their best sources for medical information are medical experts, not the president.
