What Is Hydroxychloroquine Prescribed For?
Yes, one of my doctors has me taking 2 per day of hydroxychloroquine 200 mg tables . What the heck is this for? This is part of his corrective medicine for a Semistatin drug that I encountered a very bad reaction to, and very suddenly , taken with other medicines 12 years ago, having a stent installed.

Hello,
This drug is usually prescribed to treat fibrosis in pericarditis. Considering the stent issue, it may be related to the heart. It is also used to treat malaria, which is an infection.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
