What is HCQS 200 mg?
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQS 200 mg) is used to prevent or treat the deadly virus in some people. This medicine is also used to treat some auto-immune diseases (such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis). HCQS 200 mg is a type of drug called a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) (DMARDs). It can help people with lupus who have skin problems and people with arthritis who have pain and swelling. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking HCQS as a pandemic-inducing treatment (Hydroxychloroquine).
How do you use HCQS (Hydroxychloroquine) 200 mg?
As your doctor tells you, take the HCQS 200 mg tablet by mouth with a full glass of water. The amount and concentration of HCQS will depend on the patient’s health and how well they respond to treatment. In other cases, the dose of HCQS is also based on the patient’s weight and a number of other factors.
Take this medicine as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice a day, to treat pandemic-inducing diseases. Your doctor might decide to slowly raise your dose. After you’ve been taking the medicine for a while and noticed that your condition is getting better, your doctor may suggest that you slowly lower your dose until you find the lowest amount that works well with the fewest side effects.
If you also take kaolin for diarrhea or magnesium/aluminum hydroxide for heartburn, you should wait at least 4 hours before or after taking hydroxychloroquine. These products may bind to hydroxychloroquine and make it harder for your body to absorb it.
HCQS 200 mg should be taken every day to get the most out of it. Make sure to take your medicine at the same time(s) every day if you have a regular schedule. Follow your doctor’s instructions exactly when taking this medicine.
If you’re taking HCQS to treat malaria, you shouldn’t stop taking it without first talking to your doctor. It is important to take this for as long as directed. If you stop treatment too soon, you could get an infection or have the same infection come back.
Talk to your doctor if the problem keeps happening or gets worse. If you’re taking medicine for lupus or arthritis, you might not see results for a few weeks or months.
It is not always effective to use hydroxychloroquine to prevent and treat viruses that cause pandemics. If you get a fever or other signs of illness, you should see a doctor right away (especially while in the containment area and for 2 months after returning from the area). You might need to switch to a different drug.
