I have been prescribed Hydroxychloroquinine , on reading the side effects I feel worried

Is anyone else taking this medication ? I wanted I guess to hear some positives

    Morning @Toastedground

    I have been taking Hydroxychloroquine for 2.5 years and find it very good.

    I had to come off for a few weeks due to dental work and did notice a major difference with pain so was glad to be back on it.

    Thankfully only slight side effecteffects with eyes but with age aswell think it out weighs itself.

    Good luck hope as good for you @Naomi33

    Can I just ask why did dental treatment mean a break?
