Hcq is safest drug in rheumatology. Eye toxicity usually happens only after 7-10 years of continued use of above doses. We advice eye check-up once a year only and despite having prescribed it for more than 7 years to thousands of patient, I or even more experienced consultants hardly see any patient with hcq problems. So I would advice to continue. Best wishes. You can look for more information on arthritisrheumindia website.

Difficult to say. Depends on what drugs she is on. Is she taking hcq / hydroxychloroquine? It can sometimes cause black pigmentation. I don't think it should be anything serious. Do let us know accordingly.

I have been suffering from cough and cold for more than 2 months. On first occasion, I was given Mucinac 600 tablets twice daily for 4 weeks and Montair FX ,1 tab at night. It worked good and I was relieved. However, after a gap of 15 days, it relapsed. And this time, it is dry cough all along. Coughing increases at night, at midnight and again at the dawn. Mucinac and Montair FX failed this time and I am scared that something ominous has cropped up. Last time doctor advised chest x-ray, CT Scan of lungs and PFT. The outcome of the tests was not that much worrying. Now how to negotiate this dry cough which has become a nightmare for me. Due to Rheumatoid Arthritis I am taking medicine of HCQS 200-1 tab at night, Defza 6x2 tabs in the morning, Sazo 1g each morning & night, Shelcal-HD 1 tab at night, Folvite-5 weekly twice, folitrax-10 weekly once day and night (same day), Telma H 80 for pressure in the morning and Cetapin XR 1000 mg for sugar at night. Presently, Sugar & pressure both under control. Please advise me to get rid of this dry cough. Regards, S. Hazra, Kolkata.

Mr hazra the cause of the cough Can be a cough variant asthma because you got relieved with Montair or early interstitial lung disease secondary to RA Any way I would suggest you to restart montsir ad add inhalers like foracort along with Pranay am and deep breathing Please add flomust nasal spray Just discuss with your doctor too
