HCQ for viral arthritis
I have consulted my doctor who has prescribed me HCQ for a week for viral arthritis after 20 days of painkiller dose which did not help me much.
HCQ+defcort+dolonext dt is now prescribed. Is it safe to take HCQ for viral arthritis. I have very painful joints affecting normal movements.
Any suggestions on how do I improve my health and will I recover it arthritis is recurring?
Thanks in advance

Hello Practo User,
Hcqs is used as a disease modifying drug in Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Its role in your condition is debatable.
At first place how a viral arthritis diagnosis was made is a bit dicey.
Next Steps
Consult a Rheumatologist and get yourself examined
