Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a 16 yr old daughter that tested positive for SCL-70 antibody and the doctor wants to put her on Plaquinil once/day to stave off the development of MS. Are there any negative side effects taking a drug like that while she s still growing/developing? We will put her on it but want to know what to watch for in her development.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, look if this is such disease where the therapy is must and one needs to choice whether to treat the disease or stay away from the side effect then obviously treating the disease is mandatory, second what ever the allopathic pharmaceutical molecules you take must have some side effect but that might be temporary, hope this information helps.
