Some people may experience stomach upset with hydroxychloroquine, which can vary depending on whether you're taking brand-name Plaquenil or generic hydroxychloroquine.

If you experience any issues getting your prescriptions filled or have concerns about side effects, reach out to your rheumatologist right away. They can help ensure you're getting the most benefit from your treatment combination.
