A member asked:
Is hydroxychloroquine effective in preventing ra progressing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: A number of studies have shown this. Most people will require more than this: methorexate or sulfasalzine are two. If a person is in remission with ho-q, they are fortunate and probably had milder disease.
