I Am taking 400mg of hydroxychloroquine and I have noticed that my appetite has gone down (quite happy with that) and I have terrible nausea and stomach ache. Is it normal or I should tell my doctor?
Thanks

Hello Tulipano,
Judging from a lot of the posts here, acid stomach/stomach upsets seem to be one of the commoner side-effects when starting on hydroxy. It does seem to settle down after a couple of weeks. However, if it is distressing you, you should still talk to your doctor about it. x
What brand are you taking Tulipano??? plaquenil or quinoric??? Quinoric makes me unwell with the symptoms you describe. I let my gp know and she changed it straight away, made sure plaquenil is on my prescription rather than just hydroxychloroquine, which suits me much better, no side effects after 12 years taking it. Check in with your doctor
Could be Quinoric. I'm another who has the same problems with it. My GP is very co-operative about being specific on the prescriptions because I'm otherwise fine with every brand and generic of med.
I have the same problem. Zero appetite.
