Interesting combo: That combination of medicines is interesting and unusual. Is the plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) for SLE or for a blood test result? In any case, there are no known interactions between these two drugs, but be wary of possible side effects. These include changes in heart rate and blood test parameters that should be monitored.
