Mint Hydroxychloroquine Dosage

Recommended doses of the medication vary according to the condition being treated.

Rheumatoid arthritis: The usual adult starting dose is 400 mg to 600 mg daily. It may take several weeks before the beneficial effects of hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis are seen, and several months before maximum effects are achieved. After 5 to 10 days, the dose may be gradually increased. After a good response to treatment is seen (usually within 4 to 12 weeks), the dose is decreased to 200 mg to 400 mg daily.

Lupus: The usual starting dose for adults is 400 mg once or twice daily. This dose may be continued for several weeks or months depending on the benefits that occur. For long-term use, the dose of hydroxychloroquine is usually reduced to 200 mg to 400 mg daily.

Malaria: The recommended preventative adult dose is 400 mg on exactly the same day of each week, beginning 2 weeks before exposure and continued for 8 weeks after leaving the high-risk area. Children's doses are based on body weight and are calculated as 5 mg of hydroxychloroquine base per kilogram of body weight to a maximum dose of 400 mg.

For treatment of acute attacks of malaria, the recommended starting dose for adults is 800 mg followed by 400 mg after 6 to 8 hours. This is followed by 400 mg on each of the next 2 days for a total of 2,000 mg of hydroxychloroquine. Some doctors may decide to prescribe a single dose of 800 mg only, as this method has also been found effective in the treatment of malaria. Children's doses are based on body weight as prescribed by the doctor.

To help reduce stomach upset, hydroxychloroquine should be taken with a meal or a glass of milk.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Mint Hydroxychloroquine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is within 12 hours of your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Mint Hydroxychloroquine at room temperature and keep Mint Hydroxychloroquine out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Health Canada has issued information concerning the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. To read the full Health Canada Advisory, visit Health Canada's web site at www.hc-sc.gc.ca.

Blood counts: Mint Hydroxychloroquine can decrease the number of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell that helps fight infection), red blood cells (which carry oxygen), and platelets (which help your blood to clot). If you notice any signs of infection (e.g., fever, chills, or sore throat) or unusual bleeding or bruising, contact your doctor immediately.

If you take Mint Hydroxychloroquine for a long period of time, your doctor will likely want you to have blood tests to monitor your levels of red and white blood cells.

Blood sugar levels: Hydroxychloroquine may cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels). People with Diabetes may find it necessary to monitor their blood sugar more frequently while using Mint Hydroxychloroquine. People without diabetes have also been known to experience low blood sugars while taking hydroxychloroquine. If you experience signs of low blood sugar (cold sweat, cool pale skin, headache, or weakness), contact your doctor immediately.

Blurred vision: While taking Mint Hydroxychloroquine, use caution when driving or operating machinery, since hydroxychloroquine can cause blurring of vision. If your vision blurs, call your doctor.

Eye damage: Irreversible damage to the Retin A of the eye has occurred for some people who take long-term or high-dosage treatment with hydroxychloroquine. Eye damage is more likely to occur if recommended doses are exceeded. Your doctor will want you to have regular eye exams if you take Mint Hydroxychloroquine for a period of time. If you notice any new problems with sight or symptoms such as light flashes and streaks, stop the medication at once and call your doctor.

Heart disease: Rarely, weakening of the heart muscle has been reported with the use of hydroxychloroquine.

Heart rhythm: Hydroxychloroquine can cause changes to the normal rhythm of the heart, including an irregular heartbeat called QT prolongation. QT prolongation is a serious life-threatening condition that can cause fainting, seizures, and sudden death. If you are at risk for heart rhythm problems (e.g., people with heart failure, Angina, low potassium or magnesium levels), discuss with your doctor how Mint Hydroxychloroquine may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Mint Hydroxychloroquine, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Kidney Disease: If you have kidney disease, you may need a lower dose of Mint Hydroxychloroquine.

Liver disease: If you have liver disease, you may need a lower dose of Mint Hydroxychloroquine.

These symptoms may occur within several weeks after starting Mint Hydroxychloroquine. If you experience these side effects or notice them in a family member who is taking Mint Hydroxychloroquine, contact your doctor immediately. You should be closely monitored by your doctor for emotional and behaviour changes while taking Mint Hydroxychloroquine.
