Uses of Plaquenil
Plaquenil is a prescription medication designed for both the treatment and prevention of malaria, a disease spread by mosquito bites. The active ingredient, hydroxychloroquine, falls under the category of antimalarial quinolines.
Beyond its application in fighting malaria, Plaquenil is also employed to manage autoimmune conditions, including lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. It aids in alleviating skin problems related to lupus and reduces inflammation in arthritis patients. This medication is also classified as a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD).

Is ordering medication online legal?

Are generic medications safe?
Generic medication is simply a medication that has been manufactured by a different company, rather than the company who originally held the patent on the product. Generic medications work in the exact same manner as brand name medications and are bio-equivalent to their brand name counterparts. Generic versions of medications cost far less because they invest less money on marketing.
Are Indian/Turkish generic medications safe?
India & Turkey have one of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing industries in the world! In fact, many of these companies are doing contract manufacturing for the North American market, and therefore their facilities are FDA approved. We source our medications only from the top-rated manufacturers who follow GMP guidelines, and produce their medicine in world-class manufacturing facilities. All of the Indian generic medications we sell are approved by the World Health Organization, Pepfar, and the Indian FDA.
