Medical applications
HCQS 200 Tablet contains Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg, an antimalarial agent with immunomodulatory properties primarily used in the treatment and prevention of malaria, as well as autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Hydroxychloroquine acts by interfering with lysosomal activity and autophagy, modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation. It is indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of acute attacks of malaria caused by Plasmodium species sensitive to the drug. Additionally, it is employed as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) to alleviate symptoms and prevent disease progression in autoimmune conditions. The tablet should be administered orally with or without food, adhering strictly to the prescribed dosage to minimize the risk of adverse effects. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, dizziness, and skin reactions. Prolonged use requires regular ophthalmologic monitoring due to the risk of retinopathy. Caution is advised in patients with pre-existing retinal or visual field changes, hepatic or renal impairment, and those on concomitant medications that may prolong the QT interval.
