Q: plaquenil for 2 weeks less severe flareups however flareups are now daily in a different joint each day as opposed to same joint once a month-is this possible side effect of plaquenil?
Hello, and welcome to our community. I have been taking Plaquenil for several months now and it has helped me tremendously. It usually doesn't do much of anything until a person has taken it for three months. It has its maximum effect after six months, or so I have been told by my doctors. I felt relief after three months, and then it just got better from there. I am not a doctor or a healthcare professional, but I wouldn't think your flares have anything to do w/the Plaquenil, but you should call your doctor and/or pharmacist and ask this question. They would have the expert knowledge you need. Best Wishes, V
