Tocilizumab + Hydroxychloroquine

Hi,

I had a lovely telephone consultation with Rheumy consultant yesterday. Due to minor flares in joints but also with Sjogrens, it has been suggested I add Hydroxy to meds. Just wondering if anybody is taking this combination and how they find it?

The Rheumy asked if I would like a follow up appointment or whether I would prefer to self refer? If there was anything else she could help with... We discussed a few things and generally, I feel well cared, and very fortunate.

Hope the sun is shining wherever you are and you are able to enjoy the day

I was taking Hydroxy Quinine for quite a few years in combination with my other Dmards. Never had an issue with it and it worked very well for me then. No side effects and it increased the efficacy of my treatment.

I very much hope it is the same for you

Best wishes
