Hello doctor i?m 30 and my husband is 34 years. We are planning for a baby, is it okay to get pregnant with hydroxychloroquine medicine? Currently I can?t be better without my medicine. Im currently taking 200 mg day and 400 mg next day. Can I take hydroxychloroquine even when i?m pregnant? Does this medicine harm my baby or pregnancy? I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis recently. I?m drinking ginger, turmeric and honey water everyday morning. Should I avoid when I start planning for a baby? Please advice me. Thanks in advance.
