Suggest Alternative Medication In Place Of Plaquenil
I have recently been diagnosed with RA. I have a sulpha allergy so have been placed on Methotrexate and paquenil. I am having real problems with side effects with paquenil. Is there something else I can substitute for paquenil? I have had headaches, ringing in my ears/ head in bucket feeling, and as well dizziness. Anything you can suggest would n Be helpful...

dear friend
methotrexate and hydroxychloroquin are the main stay of the treatment of RA
if you are allergic to hydroxychloroquin you can try
luflonamide 20 mg on available as brand name ARAVA.
but it will be prudent to discuss it with your rheumatologist because it will not be available without prescription and he/she will need to prescribe it
