Specializes in Internal Medicine

Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine): I'm not aware of sweating being the side effect of Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine), (hydroxychloroquine) having said that Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) could cause low blood sugar which that could cause dizziness, sweating and shakiness. Make sure your blood sugar is ok.
