Hi,
An alternate effective drug or the dose reduction of HCQS. Based on the history your mother seems to be suffering from the side effects of hydroxychloroquine. Consult her treating doctor for an alternate effective medication like methotrexate or the dose reduction of HCQS pills to prevent these side effects.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
