Uses of Plaquenil

Plaquenil is a prescribed medication used for the treatment and prevention of malaria, a disease transmitted through mosquito bites. The active ingredient in this medication is hydroxychloroquine, which is categorized under antimalarial quinolines.

In addition to combating malaria, Plaquenil is also utilized to manage autoimmune conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. It helps alleviate skin issues associated with lupus and reduces inflammation in arthritis patients. This medication is also recognized as a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD).
