Thank You for your help
Dont worry about the side effects.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem would like to tell you that Hydroxychloroquine is a safe drug and we have a wide experience with the same . Yes it has the potential to cause eye damage but thats very rare plus your doctor will monitor you for the same, so he will withdraw whenever he feels that side effects are coming he will stop the medication.
Also the disease will cause more problem rather than drugs , so please comply with what your doctor is saying . Also you can talk about considering other drugs like methotrexate , leflunomide if you are worried about taking hydroxychloroquine to your treating doctor . If you have any query please let me know.
Take care.
Dr. Shruti
