Does anyone know how long in advance you should stop taking Hydroxychloroquine before starting a drug which is not compatible with it? Also is there any need to reduce Hydroxychloroquine slowly or can you just stop taking it?

Hi, I think this is a definite question for your consultant. HYX has a very long half life, so only an expert really can advise you on this. Re-stopping, once more, I would wait for the Drs to formulate your plan. Sorry, I can't be of more help but hope you are able to get your answers soon.
