Hello,

Your mom has been prescribed the above mentioned tablets for treatment of poly articular arthritis.

Omnacortil is a steroid to reduce the inflammation . Hydroxychloroquine surface tablets are give to decrease autoimmune activity.

In simple terms your mom is clinically diagnosed to have poly articular arthritis ( small joint pain and inflammation ) and this is due to auto immune destruction of joints.

So these tablets will reduce the inflammation and control the disease . Only thing omnacortil tablets should not be taken for long period.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
