Objective: Hydroxychloroquine paired with Azithromycin, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc (HAZDPac), was used as a multidrug therapy method to treat COVID-19 illness and superimposed secondary bacterial pneumonia.

This study investigates the environmental impact of the widespread use of "COVID Kit" drugs-azithromycin (AZI), ivermectin (IVE), and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)-in urban rivers of Curitiba in Brazil, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The research focuses on the occurrence and concentrations of these pharmaceuticals in water and sediment samples collected from key urban rivers. Concentrations of AZI, IVE, and HCQ in water ranged from 326 to 3340 ng/L, 130-3340 ng/L, and 304-3314 ng/L, respectively, while in sediment, they ranged from 18 to 249 ng/g, 21-480 ng/g, and 38-673 ng/g, respectively.
