Been Taking Hydoxychloroquine Since Sunday
Been Taking Hydoxychloroquine Since Sunday
Experiencing burning in my stomach and acid reflux. I do take with food. Anyone else have this problem?

Try omeprazole I was given that to protect the lining of my stomach as it was/is a strong drug like naproxen is.

Always take arthritis meds (including Plaquenil) with food. Might add Pepcid or like drug, but check with Doc This works for me.

I use Nexium. It's an alternative to Omeprazole. NSAIDS are tough on the stomach lining. It's okay to pop the Tum/Rolaids. I take 3 at a time. It helps and it has calcium. :)

My pain specialist (also primary doctor) prescribed omeprazole years ago to protect stomach lining from meds she knew I'd be taking. Never had a problem so omeprazole works for me.
