Hello, Thanks for the question. HCQ is given only under the supervision of a doctor. It is not to be used discriminately as a preventive for every one. Plus in persons with co-morbidities like diabetes, high BP and hypo or hyperthyroidism the drug should not be used without being prescribed. HCQ prophylaxis is being used in health officials who are at a high risk of regular exposure. Thanks.

Hcq will not effect your bilirubin. It can reduce your sugar level also. But will not give immediate relief in joint pain. For joint pain you may require short course of pain management therapy like nsaid steroid or opioid medicine along with hcqand other dmard under experts supervision.

Hello. There are other options like leflunomide, in case you are intolerant to methotrexate. Considering you are already on steroids and 2 dmards (sulfasalazine & hcqs), I would suggest you take any biologics therapy for better control of your disease like adalimumab or etanercept or tofacitinib etc.
