Hello, my doctor prescribed HCQS 200 twice daily for 5 days to manage joint pain post chikungunya. Is it safe to take HCQS and does it help? Is it effective? Need to take for longer duration or 5 days twice daily is enough?

It will help but 5 days is nothing for chikungunya. It will take 2-3 months to go for majority of cases.
Next Steps
consult a rheumatologist
