Poison Control Centers guidance provided
Ohio’s Poison Control Centers have provided new peer-reviewed chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin treatment guidance documents, which address both potential side effects of therapeutic dosing and toxicities from overdoses or exploratory exposures by children.
This guidance is not for public distribution. The Ohio Poison Control Centers will post information sheets for the general public on their web pages and social media platforms soon for your patients.
