What the ACTUAL fuck? Why can't one of these doctors tell him to shut the fuck up. Please, for all of us.

(3,531 posts)Remember about a week ago they were touting the new testing machines? And while the doctor or whoever was talking about it tRump stood in front of the table playing with the box, lining it up on the table, turning it in his hands. He looked like a model on the shopping network displaying an item for sale. I thought it looked ridiculous.

(1,102 posts)It costs about a half a penny per pill outside the US and about 10 cents in the US (because of a much higher regulatory burden, plus product liability insurance and supply chain costs)

stop it for that reason. Luckily my retina specialist caught it soon enough and have little damage. I took it for over 36 years, but in my 60s I started having problems with my eyes.

By the way, I guess he skipped Phase Two of his physical that was supposed to happen in February?

(16,829 posts)There is a huge difference between out of context anecdotes and a clinical evaluation by a scientifically trained health care professional.
Trump isn't even competent to make decisions about his own health he's so STUPID.

(11,495 posts)how can anyone get it without a DR prescribing it for them?
morillon
(1,185 posts)...in order to prescribe it for their families and friends. Pharmacists smelled a rat early on and started sounding the alarm about the sudden increase in patients who supposedly have autoimmune disorders showing up with prescriptions for Plaquenil.
And a pharmacist is gonna know. A person with autoimmune conditions is likely to be on several things related to their condition. When I've had flares in the past, there were several drugs I was on that were a dead giveaway that I had some kind of autoimmune thing going on. Here you've got people showing up who've never even been on Prednisone who now say they've got lupus or RA.
Take the aquarium disinfectant version - available at fine pet stores near you! Just ask the couple in Arizona.
As for the Trumpenfuhrer:

(20,875 posts)Nausea, stomach cramps, loss of appetite, diarrhea, dizziness, or headache may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: arm/leg/back pain, slow heartbeat, symptoms of heart failure (such as shortness of breath, swelling ankles/feet, unusual tiredness, unusual/sudden weight gain), hair loss/color change, mental/mood changes (e.g., anxiety, depression, rare thoughts of suicide, hallucinations), ringing in the ears/hearing loss, worsening of skin conditions (e.g., psoriasis), severe stomach/abdominal pain, severe nausea/vomiting, easy bleeding/bruising, signs of infection (e.g., fever, persistent sore throat), dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin.
Freakin' idyit! Maybe he has been taking it. Others have noted he seems to have gained a lot of weight recently.

(20,875 posts)That sucks!
dump doesn't know when to stop with his lies!
I know quite abt. it too as Dad had malaria. He used quinine for a # of years but stopped as over time the good it did was not worth the side-effects from it.
That was his decision however, not a forced decision as is your case.
I am very sorry to read this. I hope you can get your RX filled soon!
Take care please.

(111,270 posts)I took it for ten years, low dose, and that's now what' making me blind, lousy genes are. It did give me epic diarrhea.
They wouldn't give him chloroquine, there can be serious emotional side effects and he's already a train wreck in that regard.
He's an ass on many accounts. He's mostly an ass because people who are ill with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis rely on this drug so they don't end up crippled or dead.
Let's hope the orange oinker has lost their votes along with the votes of their families. And yeah, let's hope he's true to form and overdoing the dosage.

(14,155 posts)Self medicating using the chemicals found in a janitorial closet is an ill advised approach altogether. And may lead to injury or death.
Trump should make it absolutely clear that discussing the use of medications is something you must discuss with your qualified doctor. Do not self medicate.
