The toxic effects of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine on skeletal muscle: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract The aim of this systematic review was to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis on the toxic effects of chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) on skeletal muscles. We designed the study according to PRISMA guidelines. Studies for qualitative and quantitative analyses were sele...

We designed the study according to PRISMA guidelines.
