Plaquenil (active ingredient: hydroxychloroquine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Plaquenil is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, helping to reduce pain, swelling, and joint stiffness.
  2. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): It is also indicated for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus, assisting in managing symptoms such as joint pain, skin rashes, and fatigue.
  3. Malaria Prophylaxis and Treatment: Plaquenil is used for the prevention and treatment of malaria caused by certain types of parasites.

Plaquenil belongs to a class of medications called antimalarials and immunosuppressants, which work by modulating the immune system and interfering with the growth of parasites that cause malaria.

Plaquenil comes in the form of a tablet to take by mouth exactly as directed by your doctor, usually once a week on the same day of each week. To prevent stomach upset, take Plaquenil with food or milk. Do not crush or break the tablets, as they may leave a bitter taste. You should mark a calendar to help you remember. Plaquenil is usually started 1 to 2 weeks before entering an area with widespread malaria. Continue taking it weekly while in the area and for 4 to 8 weeks after leaving, or as directed by your doctor. Finally, to treat malaria, follow your doctor’s instructions.

The dosage and length of treatment are based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Children’s dose is also based on weight. The recommended dosage for adults with chronic discoid lupus erythematosus is 200mg to 400mg in a day of the week, while the initial dosage for treating other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or malaria is higher, usually around 400mg to 600mg in a day of the week, and then decreased to 200mg or 400mg per in a day of the week as a maintenance dose.

Here’s what you need to know:
