I’m on it and I have a few question (for anyone that’s on it I’d love some feedback how it’s worked for you): How long does it take to work? Do you have any breakthrough flares? What is your biggest side effect? Thanks and blessings! ☀️

I have used it for over a year with methotrexate I really cannot tell if it helps or not. I have pain all the time.

Yes! Over 12,000 myRAteam members report using hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) to treat their rheumatoid arthritis. It's a commonly prescribed medication for managing RA symptoms. Some members have noticed that side effects like stomach upset can vary between brand-name Plaquenil and generic hydroxychloroquine. If you experience any new or different side effects when taking this medication, be sure to let your doctor know, as it could be related to a change in supplier. Remember to always take your medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Never adjust your dosage or stop taking hydroxychloroquine without first consulting with your healthcare provider, as this could affect your RA management.
