Chloro vs hydroxy: Hi Yes, indeed you can. Please check website below. Hydroxychloroquin is PLAQUANIL and Chloroquin is Aralen. They differ in s/effect profile. http://www.thelupussite.com/treatment/antimalarials.html Thanks

Yes you can: And sometimes it can also be used as a combination. More study done on lupus with hydroxychloroquin than chloroquine, but it can also be used.
