Quoting: peterpeccary And can you name that cleaner?? Here it is from a pet store: [link to aquariumstoredepot.com (secure)] [link to cdn.shopify.com (secure)] [link to cdn.shopify.com (secure)] [link to www.championlighting.com (secure)] How they took it: That pharmaceutical name matched the label on a bottle of chemicals they used to clean their koi pond, NBC News reported. The fish tank solvent that treats aquatic parasites contains the same active ingredient as the drug, but in a different form that can poison people. “I saw it sitting on the back shelf and thought, ‘Hey, isn’t that the stuff they’re talking about…?’ ” the wife, who was not named, told the network. “We were afraid of getting sick.” The couple reportedly poured some of the fish tank cleaning chemical, chloroquine phosphate, into soda and drank it. They hoped it would stave off a coronavirus infection. “Within thirty minutes of ingestion, the couple experienced immediate effects” that sent them to the emergency room, a Banner Health spokeswoman said in a statement Monday. They felt dizzy and started vomiting. The husband died at the hospital, and the wife is under critical care, according to the statement. [link to hamodia.com (secure)] Thank you. It's a small quibble, but that is not a Tank Cleaner (which is what I've been looking for), it's medicine for the fish with Ick and other fish problems. But it IS chloroquine for fish tanks. Thank you. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you. Slake Blake |

It doesn’t matter if the ingredient in their product was similar to the actual medication. There are many poisons that resemble food or medicinal items in name, but we still don’t eat them. These people ingested something not intended for human consumption, which had warnings on the package. It does not change the efficacy of a properly prescribed medication under doctor’s orders, showing promise in treating the virus. Just stop with the bullshit Last Edited by MaxTork on 03/26/2020 04:21 AM |

The couple did not ingest any prescribed medication or drug form of chloroquine phosphate, Kramer-Ainza told The Republic Tuesday. They ingested the additive found in fish tank cleaners, she said. "At this time, there's no great data that these medications are going to help a majority of patients" with COVID-19, he said. Brooks explained that while hospitals, including Banner Health, were giving some of its hospitalized COVID-19 patients the prescription medication, the patients typically have moderate or severe symptoms and are monitored under "very strict and intensive conditions" to help decrease the risk of side effects associated with the drug. While "potential antiviral medication including chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine" may bebeneficial to some COVID-19 patients, it has significant side effects and, therefore, should not be given to non-hospitalized patients, he said. “We are strongly urging the medical community to not prescribe this medication to any non-hospitalized patients,” Brooks said in the press release on Monday. "This is another example where there's not going to be a magic pill for the coronavirus that comes off the internet, that's just not going to happen." [link to www.azcentral.com (secure)] |
