The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control NCDC has warned Nigerians against the use of chloroquine for treatment against the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
In a post on its verified twitter handle @NCDCgov on Wednesday, the health authority said the drug had not been validated and approved for use as treatment for COVID-19.
NCDC tweeted: “Please remember that the use of chloroquine and its derivatives for the management of coronavirus disease has NOT been validated and approved.”
“Self-medication can cause harm and lead to death. Do not misuse drugs.” The health agency warned.
