A member asked:
I have lupus with positive cardiolipin. i take plaquenil. is birth control safe? does the plaquenil cancel out the extra clotting risk posed by the birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, plaquenil does not negate the clotting risk in SLE patient with positive aPL. You should use other contraceptive methods such as non-hormonal IUD, diaphragm or condom. Good luck.
