Medscape (8/10, Yasgur, Subscription Publication) reports, “Chloroquine may be associated with serious psychiatric side effects, even in patients with no family or personal history of psychiatric disorders, a new review suggests.” The researchers “summarize data from several studies published as far back as 1993 and as recently as May 2020” in a letter to the editor published in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. The lead author told Medscape Medical News, “In addition to previously reported side effects, chloroquine could also induce psychiatric side effects which are polymorphic and can persist even after stopping the drug.”
