Have dle would the oral medication needed for itching be prednisolone or hydroxychloriquine new medication safe taken long term ?can it affect eyes ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prefer hydroxychloro: Through the hydroxychloroquine. Is a very effective, but can affect the eyes and you need periodic I examinations. Long term prednisone has a lot of other bad side effects.
