Hydroxychloroquine is predominantly used to prevent or treat chloroquine-sensitive malaria. The exact mechanism by which it works is unclear, but it is thought that the medication inhibits the ability of the parasites to extract nutrients from their host, causing them to die. Hydroxychloroquine has been used to combat malaria since the 1950s.

In more recent times use has expanded; increasingly patients buy hydroxychloroquine to treat autoimmune disorders such as lupus or arthritis. In this application the medication acts as an immunosuppressant, reducing the severity and frequency of symptoms like pain and swelling.

Hydroxychloroquine is more widely known by its brand names of Plaquenil, Dolquine, Quensyl, or Axemal. It is also possible to buy hydroxychloroquine as a less-costly generic.

Preventing & Treating Malaria

Plaquenil can prevent the parasites that cause malaria from establishing in the body if taken prior to exposure. Ideally treatment should begin two weeks prior to traveling to an area where malaria is endemic. Administration is simple in otherwise healthy adults:

• Take 400 mg of Plaquenil as a single dose once per week.
• Always take on the same day each week.
• Always take with food or milk.
• Begin treatment two weeks prior to anticipated exposure.
• Continue treatment for the duration of exposure.
• Continue treatment for 8 weeks after exposure ends.

If treatment was not started prior to exposure but there are no symptoms of malaria present, the medication may still provide protection:

• As soon as possible take 800 mg of Plaquenil, divided into two 400 mg doses taken 6 hours apart.
• After the initial double-dose, the 400 mg once-per-week schedule described above should be followed.

Malaria is a serious, potentially fatal disease that warrants emergency medical attention as soon as symptoms are noticed. If that's not possible, Plaquenil can be used to treat the condition:

• Take 800 mg of Plaquenil, followed by another 400 mg 6 hours later.
• Take a single 400 mg dose on the following two days.

To retain potency tablets should kept out of direct light and not exposed to excessive heat for long periods.

Alleviating Lupus & Arthritis

Though not its original purpose, increasingly patients buy Plaquenil to help alleviate symptoms of autoimmune diseases. The medication suppresses immune response, thus reducing the severity and frequency of swelling, pain, and other associated symptoms.

Treatment can vary considerably between patients. As a general rule:

• Patients typically start on relatively low doses of 200 to 400 mg, taken once or twice per day.
• If needed dosage may be increased to 600 or 800 mg per day, taken twice per day, after several weeks.
• Tablets should always be taken with food or milk.
• Treatment may continue for as long as it provides benefit.

It may take several weeks of regular treatment for full benefit to be felt, particularly in arthritis. If taking long-term, smaller doses of 200-400 mg are desirable to reduce likelihood of side effects.
