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.

Thanks for your message. Well firstly I would like to modify her dmards. Probably we should methotrexate in combination with other drugs unless she has had intolerance to it. Yes hcqs has run out of stock in view of current corona crisis. But hopefully it will be back in stock. It has a long lasting effect so will stay in your system for couple of weeks.

The treatment you r taking can only control the progress of disease. It will not provide any cure. So its better to switch over to ayurveda and panchkarma treatment for long lasting results.

sle is an autoimmune illness
she's taking proper treatment
my sincere suggestion is to wait for some relief so that she can be off medicines for few months
may be getting pregnant after she's got treated will help her in the long run as autoimmune illnesses occurs on its own or disappear with long months of relapse and relief from illnesses
