Demand surged for the game changer hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID-19

COVID-19, the disease caused by the newly discovered Coronavius at the end of November 2019, has rapidly spread in more than 200 countries in the world. The coronavirus is mainly transmitted via reparatory droplets from the infected people. Currently, there are no specific treatments or vaccine available for the COVID-19. However, many clinical trials and research and development activities are currently going on for the development of a vaccine to treat the disease. Meanwhile, hydroxychloroquine is set to be a game-changer and found to be effective for the treatment of COVID-19 in the in-vivo studies as well as laboratory testing. Thus, demand for hydroxychloroquine is rapidly increasing all over the world for the treatment of coronavirus. India is one of the biggest producers of this anti-malarial drug, and many Indian companies have ramped up the production of hydroxychloroquine to meet local and export demand. Though there are no large scale clinical trials conducted on the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine for treatment of COVID-19, the drug is running out of stock in pharmacies. Currently, India produces 40 tonnes, or 20 crore tablets of 200 mg each, of hydroxychloroquine per month. The drug is not manufactured in the developed countries such as the U.S. and in the European countries, as malaria is virtually nonexistent there.  Thus, many countries are demanding the hydroxychloroquine from India, amid the outbreak of global pandemic COVID-19.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), is an anti-malarial drug, which is used to prevent the caused by the mosquito bite. Apart from malaria, the drug is also used for the treatment of lupus erythematosus, Q fever, rheumatoid arthritis, and newly discovered COVID-19 disease. Hydroxychloroquine, in combination with a common antibiotic azithromycin, can be used for the potential treatment of COVID-19. It can be brought over the counter in the countries such as India, and it is fairly inexpensive. However, its purchase is strictly restricted ever since it is considered for the treatment of newly discovered disease COVID-19.

Global hydroxychloroquine market is witnessing the tremendous demand, as the drug is considered as for the potential treatment of global pandemic disease COVID-19. In addition to this, the rising prevalence of autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus across the globe fuelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, increasing cases of malaria in the developing and underdeveloped countries, including India and African countries, further boosted the production of the drug in the recent years. For instance, as per the study by the World Health Organization (WHO), 19 African countries and India carried almost 85% of the global malaria burden. However, the potential side effects of hydroxychloroquine may hamper the growth of the market over the forecast period.
