Dider Raoult and his team, who were specifically approved by French National agency for Drug Safety (FNDS) conduct an experiment on especially on 36 patients those who are infected by COVID-19.

Out of 36, this drug was given to specifically 20 patients and remaining 16 were in placebo. On the 6^ème day, they observe the patients who were under hydroxychloroquine drug and found that they had no sign of virus load as compared to placebo group.

Out of that 20, 6 patients were given azithromycin (prevents bacterial super-infection) along with hydroxychloroquine and was kept monitoring under electrocardiogram.

Thereafter, it is found that the patients recovered faster than other 2 groups. Finally, it is proved that hydroxychloroquine along with the strength of azithromycin can reduce the virus loads on the COVID-19 patients.

It also help them to recover fast, within 3-6 days by weakening the transmission of the virus chain.
