PHARMACOLOGY
Hydroxychloroquine is an anti-malarial. It also exerts a beneficial
effect in mild systemic and discoid lupus
erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. The precise mechanism of
action is not known.
Like chloroquine phosphate, hydroxychloroquine is highly active
against the erythrocytic forms of _Plasmodium _
_vivax _and _P. malariae _and most strains of _P. falciparum _(but not
the gametocytes of _P. falciparum_).
Hydroxychloroquine does not prevent relapses in patients with vivax or
malariae malaria because it is not
effective against exo-erythrocytic forms of the parasite, nor will it
prevent vivax or malariae infection when
administered as a prophylactic. It is highly effective as a
suppressive agent in patients with vivax or malariae
malaria, in terminating acute attacks and significantly lengthening
the interval between treatment and relapse. In
patients with falciparum malaria, it abolishes the acute attack and
effects complete cure of the infection, unless
due to a resistant strain of _P. falciparum_.
INDICATIONS
Rheumatoid arthritis; mild systemic and discoid lupus erythematosus;
the suppression and treatment of malaria.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Hydroxychloroquine is contraindicated in:
•
patients with pre-existing maculopathy of the eye;
