Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) typically takes several weeks to months to show significant effects, depending on the condition being treated. For autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid Arthritis or lupus, patients may start to notice improvements in symptoms within 4 to 6 weeks, but full benefits may take longer. In some cases, it could take up to 6 months to achieve optimal results. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's guidance during this period.
You can take Advil or another NSAID while taking Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) as long as NSAID isn't contraindicated for you.
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.

There are no known drug interactions between plaquenil and depo provera
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
It is generally considered safe to take Accutane (isotretinoin) with Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine), but you should always consult your healthcare provider before combining medications. Both drugs have different mechanisms and uses, with Accutane primarily for severe acne and Plaquenil for autoimmune conditions. Monitoring for any side effects is important, as both medications can have significant effects on the body. Always follow your doctor's guidance regarding medication combinations.
How long does it take to work
I was wondering what would happen when you stop taking plaquenil after trying it out for 3- 6 months.
no
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.
I guess it does. Have always had high sed rate. Put on Prednisone for 30 days and Plaquenil at same time. On 300 mg of Plaquenil and 15 mg of Mobic and my sed rate is 2--always been elevated. Foot pain is returning as well as bilateral wrist pain. Do feel better on Plaquenil and Mobic, however.
