differant brands of hydroxychloroquine

[wales]

I have been on Hydroxychloroquine for 6 years i have lupus sjrogens hughes syndrome and raynauds,Last year i was switched to quinoric but when I spoke to Prof Hughes in February he suggested going back to Plaquenil as quinoric was not as effective and he has writthen a paper on this that I cant find .I started back on Plaquenil in March and the last week I dont feel very well,my toes and finger tips are painful and tingling my fingers feel like claws,I gave myself a dose of B12 earlier incase it was that and I have severe iron def anaemia but I feel very unwell and was wondering if anyone else has had a problem with differant brands of hydroxychloroquine or iron def anaemia thanks so much

I have been on plaque nil since last June, when I went on the generic I got the pain back in my hands and feet. I have asked my Gp to prescribe plaquenil as is

Professor Hughes maintains that it is advisable to stick to Plaquenil only! Mary F x

Prof Hughes advised me the same too in march. I'm thought I was having more probs. Now switched back to plaqunil as advised by the genius. Tummy problems and skin clearing, fatigue slightly better too! I would be interested in paper to xxx

Hi APSn - I don't think you will find a paper on that subject; he has written quite a few books recently so perhaps he was thinking of that instead?

I've not experienced any difference from changes to Plaquenil to Quinoric over the last year. I know Quinoric is slightly cheaper but it hasn't affected my fatigue or arthralgia - both still kept nice at bay
