Multiple approaches have been applied to relieve pressure on and support existing healthcare. The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health (MOH) launched an initiative to support the national healthcare system. Since 5 June 2020, 238 outpatient fever clinics have been established nationwide. This study aimed to assess the safety outcome and reported adverse events from hydroxychloroquine use among suspected COVID-19 patients. Methods: The cross-sectional study included 2733 patients subjected to the MOH treatment protocol (hydroxychloroquine) and followed up for 3–7 days after initiation. Data were collected through an electronic link and cross-checked with the national database (Health Electronic Surveillance Network) and reports from the MOH Morbidity and Mortality Committee. Results: Two hundred and forty patients (8.8%) discontinued treatment because of side effects (4.1%) and non-clinical reasons (4.7%). Adverse effects were reported among 6.7% of all participants, including mainly cardiovascular symptoms (2.5%; 0.15% with corrected QT prolongation) and gastrointestinal symptoms (2.4%). No intensive care unit admission or death was reported among these patients. Conclusion: Our results show that hydroxychloroquine use for COVID-19 patients with mild to moderate symptoms in an outpatient setting with the recommended protocol and inclusion/exclusion criteria is safe, is highly tolerable and has minimal side effects. © 2020 The Author(s).
