Stop hydroxychloroquine or not ??

[Fg45]

Hi. I’ve tested positive for covid. I know to stop methotrexate if symptomatic ( I am ) but is that the same for hydroxychloroquine as well or should I keep going with that ? ( don’t ask me

to contact gp/consultant -proving impossible ). Just wondered if anyone had received advice on this ? Thanks.

We can’t advise you on that, even if we have been told by our doctors, that is for us and may not be the same for you. Keep trying to contact your rheumy or I’d have a look at the NRAS website as they have lots of info on there regarding Covid. Get well soon.

Improving thanks but it’s been pretty rough 🙀

That’s good to hear - what meds are you on?

[Fg45 in reply to gr95]

Mtx and hxy. But not at the moment. Am sticking to paracetamol and naproxen.
