Rheumatoid Arthritis
Dear doctors,
Recently HCQS was banned in US as per case study done and subsequently WHO also banned HCQS since the drug had side effects on heart.
I want to ask whether is it safe to take HCQS since it's been prescribed to my mother for Rheumatoid arthritis treatment. ( Her prescription also includes Prednisolone tablet & Tacrolimus capsule).
Please suggest whether is it safe to take Hydroxychloroquine -

Homeopathy offers a much better treatment option for people suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. That is because Homeopathy does not aim at providing short term relief for RA. On the contrary, Homeopathic medicines for RA are aimed at completely curing and eradicating the inflammation of the joints. Of course, this requires some time as the immune system has to get back into its original shape where it recognizes one’s own body as a friend and not as an enemy. In my experience, Homeopathic treatment is by far the best treatment for RA when one considers the long term effects of the treatment. It is purely a natural treatment for RA and no steroids or synthetic medicines are used.

You can easily take an online consultation for further treatment guidance and permanent cure without any side effects

Yes HCQS do have sideeffets, but it's one of the best drug for RA, only thing is keep getting ECG and serum Electrolytes tested frequently to make sure it is not causing serious effects on heart

HCQS is one of the best drug for treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis. Every doctor knows the side effects of any drug before prescribing. So for Rheumatoid arthritis it is more beneficial to take HCQS rather than thinking of side effects.

HCQS has been researched for years and then approved for Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment. Any medicine given to the patient is prescribed when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. HCQS didn’t show a significant benefit for Covid patients, therefore it was banned in US and warning issued by FDA. It doesn’t mean it won’t be used for other conditions like RA, lupus etc.
