Overview
HCQS 200mg Tablets (30 pack) contain hydroxychloroquine, a disease-modifying medicine prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis and lupus (SLE), where it calms the overactive immune system to reduce joint pain, swelling, skin rashes and disease flares. Taken long-term under specialist care, it is one of the gentlest disease-modifiers available and remains a cornerstone of lupus treatment. A condition that disproportionately affects women. For patients living with autoimmune disease, HCQS offers steady control with well-understood, monitorable safety.
