Frequently asked questions about Hydroxychloroquine

Q. How to take the HYQ 400 Tablet?
HYQ 400 Tablet comes as a tablet to be taken by mouth. It should be taken with food or a glass of milk to prevent an upset stomach and nausea. Take it as per dose and duration suggested by the doctor and finish the complete course. HYQ 400 Tablet should be used regularly as advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it without talking to your doctor first. If you have also taking antacids, then take HYQ 400 Tablet at least 4hours before or after these products.
Q. How long does it take for HYQ 400 Tablet to start working?
HCQS takes some time to show its effects. It may even take a few weeks or months before you see an improvement in your symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune diseases. However, it is important that you be patient and keep taking this medication regularly. Your doctor may prescribe some additional medications in the interim for temporary relief from the symptoms.
Q. Does HYQ 400 Tablet have any effect on vision?
Yes, though uncommon, HCQS can affect vision especially if taken at higher doses or for a period of time (> 5 years). The symptoms include reading or seeing difficulties (words, letters, or parts of objects missing), sensitivity to light, blurred distant vision, and seeing light flashes or streaks. If you notice any of these symptoms, consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor may carry out various eye tests and then decide if HYQ 400 Tablet needs to be discontinued. You may also be advised to get certain eye tests done periodically if you have been prescribed HCQS.
Q. Do I need to get any tests done during HYQ 400 Tablet treatment?
An eye test is required before your treatment with HCQS starts and should be repeated every 12 months. Also, your doctor may advise you to get your blood counts (CBC) and liver function test (LFT) checked regularly. Your doctor may discontinue HCQS if any abnormality is detected.
Q. Is HYQ 400 Tablet an opioid, a painkiller, a steroid, or an anti-inflammatory medicine? How does it work?
HYQ 400 Tablet is an antimalarial medicine with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. It is neither a steroid nor an opioid nor a painkiller. In malaria, HYQ 400 Tablet destroys the harmful parasite which causes the illness. Whereas in rheumatoid arthritis, it reduces inflammation of the joints and provides relief.
Q. Do I need to be careful with HYQ 400 Tablet if I am a diabetic?
Yes, you need to be careful while using HCQS if you have diabetes. HCQS can lower your blood glucose levels to dangerous levels so much so that you may even lose consciousness(severe hypoglycemia). Keep a regular check on your blood glucose levels and if it starts to fall, contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor may alter the doses of your anti-diabetic medications as per your blood glucose levels.
Q. I am on antacids since a long time, which is necessary for me. Can I still take HYQ 400 Tablet?
Yes, you can take HCQS, provided you keep a gap of at least 4 hours between HCQS and antacid. If this gap is not maintained, then the antacid may interfere with the absorption or working of HCQS. As a result, you may not experience the full benefits of HCQS.
Q. Can I take ibuprofen while taking HYQ 400 Tablet?
Yes, you may take ibuprofen and HCQS together. They do not have any significant interactions and do not interfere with the working of each other.
Q. What can I expect if I stop taking HYQ 400 Tablet?
If you stop taking HCQS without consulting your doctor, your illness may get worse. Therefore, do not stop taking HCQS without consulting your doctor, even if you start feeling better.
