About

Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine sulfate) is a go-to oral medication for controlling inflammatory conditions like treatment-resistant rheumatoid arthritis or preventing recurrent, troublesome lupus flares. The standard dose for adults is 200-400mg daily with food to ease GI impact, though regular ophthalmology visits are crucial to monitor for retinal changes indicating rare toxicity. As someone surviving the ups and downs of an autoimmune disease, I’ve found taking Plaquenil circumvents a lot of the immune dysfunction leading to my painful joint inflammation and rashes. The tablets subtly recalibrate overactive immunity. For those struggling to afford brand name Plaquenil, HCQS tablets offer an alternative at a fractional price, containing that same valuable quinine component. While not a cure-all, Plaquenil prevents cascading symptoms. Moving forward, this vintage tablet warrants thoughtful evaluation for other inflammation-driven illnesses plaguing us now. With prudent screening and responsible dosing, Plaquenil continues promoting stability.
