Hydroxychloroquine

Hydroxychloroquine is a prescription medicine used to help manage certain inflammatory conditions. It is available under several brand and generic product names, including HCQS, HQ-Star, Hydroquin, and others. It works by reducing inflammation and moderating the immune response.

It is commonly used for rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions as directed by a healthcare professional. Hydroxychloroquine can cause serious side effects in some people, including vision changes and heart rhythm problems, so regular medical follow-up is important. Use exactly as prescribed and tell your prescriber about all other medicines you take.
