Plaquenil, the trade name for hydroxychloroquine, is a medication used for the treatment of malaria and also, in some cases, in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. It is not a narcotic.
No, Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) is not a steroid. It is an antimalarial medication that is also used to treat autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Plaquenil works by modulating the immune system rather than exerting the anti-inflammatory effects characteristic of steroids.
yes you can take plaquenil and aspirin together. I have lupus anticoagulant and my rheumatologist prescribed me plaquenil and a baby aspirin everyday. Do not take over one aspirin a day though
There are no listed interactions between Aleve and Plaquenil. If you plan to take both Aleve and Plaquenil, it would be best to consult with a doctor or pharmacist dosage instructions and possible interactions.
please answer the question
can you show positive by taking plaquenil
There are no known drug interactions between plaquenil and depo provera
You can take Advil or another NSAID while taking Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) as long as NSAID isn't contraindicated for you.
I was wondering what would happen when you stop taking plaquenil after trying it out for 3- 6 months.
no
I'm prescribed Meloxicam for my lupus so i hope so :)
Lupus is an illness that is an immune system malfunction. In a person who has Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, there is an "error message," of sorts, on each cell's DNA profile, which causes each cell in that person's body to, in effect, be "allergic" to every other cell. The body "attacks" itself, in an attempt to destroy "bad" or damaged cells. This activity can bae controlled or minimized with steroids such as Prednisone and other drugs such as Plaquenil. Each drug has its own side effects, so read carefully and extensively if you have Lupus and are weighing drug treatments. To obtain more complete and accurate information on Systemic Lupus, consult a rheumatologist who specializes in this disease. There is another type of Lupus, Discoid Lupus, that affects only the skin. Consult a dermatologist for more information on this type of Lupus.
