A member asked:
How long does it take for imuran and plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) to clear up from your system after taking them for 1 month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Half life: Hi, imuran has a very short half-life about 5-6 hours therefore it clears from body so quickly but Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) half-life is 30-50 days so it could stay in the body for long time.
