No: Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) is extremely important not only in controlling the common symptoms of sle but also in preventing more serious issues from occurring in the future. I strongly believe it is a lifetime theory and should be continued even throughout pregnancy.

Lupus arthritis: Probably not, but if it keeps you well it is worth it.
