Can Zy-Q 200 Be Taken In Place Of HCQ 200mg Prescribed For Arthritis?

Hello Doctor, My mother has arthritis & doctor has prescribed HCQS 200mg. But my chemist suggest me another one which is Zy-Q 200mg. Because this is much cheaper than HCQS-200 has both have same salt Hydroxychloroquine sulphate. Just manufacturers are different. I have also checked that salt are same. So, can I take zy-q 200 in place of HCQS. Thanks, Anuj
