It’s certainly not something I would advise due to the die off caused.

Can you let me know where Chloroquine is used systematically? AFAIK you cannot test for Chloroquine. It is not known if carbon removes it OR what it’s natural breakdown period is (as it can’t be tested for).

Would very much like to hear about any tests for Chloroquine you can point me in the direction of as that is its biggest drawback IME in general treatment.
You can use a spectrophotometer to check levels of CP. The machine is very expensive is the biggest drawback.
