Hcq 200mg Tablets

Hcq 200mg Tablets contains Hydroxychloroquine 200mg, an antimalarial and disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD). Made by Getz Pharma Ltd, it is prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, discoid lupus and malaria. Pack size: 30 tablets.

Uses of Hcq 200mg Tablets

Hcq 200mg Tablets is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, including systemic lupus erythematosus and discoid lupus, where it helps reduce joint pain and swelling, skin rashes and tiredness and lowers the risk of flare-ups. It is also used for some light-sensitive skin conditions and, in certain situations, for malaria. In arthritis its benefits build up slowly over several weeks to months.

How Hcq 200mg Tablets works

Hydroxychloroquine changes the way certain immune cells work. It makes compartments inside these cells less acidic, which interferes with how immune signals are processed and calms the overactive immune response that drives inflammation. In malaria it stops the parasite from safely breaking down haemoglobin inside red blood cells.
