A member asked:
My rheum has me on plaquenil, (hydroxychloroquine) i'm allergic to biologics. is there pain control better than opioids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medication allergy: Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) is not a biologic, and you cannot be allergic to all biologics, because they are made differently. And neither is an opioid, so not sure what your question is afterall.
