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).
