Hydroxychloroquine sulfate is an oral antimalarial and immunomodulatory drug used to treat autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Available in 200 mg tablets, it is commonly marketed under brand names like Plaquenil, HCQS, Imulast, and Hydroquin. The typical adult dosage ranges from 200 mg to 400 mg per day, taken with food to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. Clinical benefits, including reduced joint pain and skin inflammation, may take 6 to 12 weeks to manifest. Regular ophthalmologic monitoring is advised due to the risk of retinal toxicity with long-term use.
