Imulast 200 mg Tablet

Imulast 200 mg Tablet is an oral hydroxychloroquine medicine made by Cipla Ltd. Each tablet contains 200 mg of hydroxychloroquine, and the pack contains 10 tablets. It belongs to the antimalarial/DMARD class and is used for conditions such as malaria prevention or treatment and certain autoimmune diseases, depending on your doctor’s prescription.

How it works: Hydroxychloroquine works by changing how certain cells respond to inflammation and by interfering with the life cycle of malaria parasites. In tablet form, Imulast 200 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to provide these effects over time.

Imulast 200 mg Tablet is a standard tablet strength that is commonly used when a doctor wants a flexible dose that can be adjusted over time. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this 200 mg tablet fits typical adult dosing plans where the prescriber decides how many tablets to take each day based on the condition being treated and the patient’s response.

• Prevention or treatment of malaria
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Systemic lupus erythematosus
• Other autoimmune conditions prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Imulast 200 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it with food or milk if it upsets your stomach.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember your dose.
• Do not crush or split the tablet unless your prescriber or pharmacist says it is okay.
• If you are taking it for malaria, follow the exact schedule your doctor gives you before, during, and after exposure.
• Use only the number of tablets prescribed; do not take extra doses to make it work faster.

Each Imulast 200 mg Tablet provides 200 mg of hydroxychloroquine per tablet. The number of tablets you take and how often you take them may vary by condition; some patients take it once daily, while others may have a different schedule directed by their doctor. Do not exceed the maximum daily amount your prescriber sets, because the safe dose depends on your body weight, medical history, and the reason for treatment.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
