Introduction: The COVID-19 disease is a health emergency; treatment has not yet been proven. Objective: To present the available evidence of efficacy and safety of the use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in the prophylaxis and management of patients with COVID-19. Methods: A rapid literature review was performed; we consulted Medline, scopus and pubmed databases. Results: Eleven publications were included including rapid literature reviews, observational studies, and clinical trials. No data were found studying prophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for SARS-CoV-2. Reports of adverse events include episodes of emesis, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, rash, and itching. Conclusions: The evidence collected suggests that the use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in patients with COVID-19, could abnormal electrocardiogram and increased risk of mortality in-hospital. The effectiveness remains unclear.
