I'm not going to complain. I'd rather they save lives, but this is just to report my experience today. I don't know if it'll help and there's difference of opinions so far, but...
MOO, it's true that Lupus and RA patients that normally take
hydroxychloroquine may be affected by the shortage of the drug for awhile.
I have taken Plaquenil for RA for years. It's a blessing and has helped me so much. Tried to get my normal 90 day refill today. I ordered it online yesterday, but
(1) They wouldn't mail it this time, said to go pick it up. (I went to the pharmacy at the hospital. Great procedures and they took my temperature when I went in.)
(2) They only gave me a
14 day supply and they count it as a full refill. Instead of 100 pills, I got 14. Oh well, it's okay, we're in a Pandemic.
As I said, I'm not complaining. I know the news and Trump has said production of the drug has been increased. I hope something can help save lives.
This was an interesting article someone posted earlier today. Combo with Zinc.
