Hi,

Same drug from different companies may have different safety and efficacy profile. This could be due the the manufacturing process and differences in bio-equivalence. Once you have started using a drug brand and it is does not cause any major side effects, continue the same drug. You can contact the Prasco company representatives and ask for the pharmacies nearby your home which can supply Hydroxychloroquine for your treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
