May not be related: This may not be related to the plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine).Uncertain why you are taking plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine). I would advise a gastroenterology evaluation. I agree with the liver and pancreas tests but if this is really a very light stool one would need a more involved workup.
