Just started taking hydroxychloroquine 2 days ago. every time i take 400mg of it 2 hours later i will have severe episode of diarrhea, should i stop it?

See details: First of all, try splitting the dose and take 200mg twice daily. If that does not work, ask your doctor if you can reduce the dose to 200 mg daily.
