Usage

Plaquenil (Hydroxychloroquine) is a prescription medication that is used for the prevention and treatment of malaria infections caused by mosquito bites (source). Plaquenil is also used to manage symptoms of autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus), and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) (source). Hydroxychloroquine belongs to a class of drugs called antimalarials and is also an antirheumatic drug. For malaria, Plaquenil works by killing the parasite that causes the infection. It works by reducing pain, swelling, and joint stiffness, but the precise mechanism of action is not known.

It is crucial to take the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes or refer to the product labeling information. Please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.
