Hydroxychloroquine Tablets Medication Description
Hydroxychloroquine is a cornerstone therapy for rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in patients with mild to moderate disease activity. As a DMARD, it helps control the underlying autoimmune process that drives joint inflammation and damage. Unlike pain relievers, hydroxychloroquine targets the disease itself, reducing flares and slowing progression over time. Its mechanism involves altering immune cell signaling and reducing inflammatory mediators, which helps protect joints and improve quality of life. This medication is often used in combination with other DMARDs or biologic agents for optimal control of rheumatoid arthritis. Because its onset of action is gradual, patients may need several weeks to notice improvement. Hydroxychloroquine is generally well tolerated, but long-term use requires monitoring for rare complications such as retinal toxicity. Regular eye exams and periodic blood tests are recommended to ensure safety. -
Hydroxychloroquine Tablets Side Effects
Common side effects of hydroxychloroquine include nausea, stomach upset, and mild headache. Some patients may experience skin rashes or changes in hair color. Serious but rare side effects include vision changes due to retinal damage, muscle weakness, and heart rhythm problems. Patients should report any visual disturbances, severe fatigue, or irregular heartbeat immediately. Regular eye exams and medical checkups help reduce the risk of complications during long-term therapy. -
