Hydroxychloroquine 200mg Gluten Free For Celiac Patient

I began hydroxychloroquine on jan 19th & yesterday my primary took me off the med. Now my body is covered with hives and i've not slept for 2 days/nights, i am exhausted. I have rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease and severe osteoporosis. I did the best i could to see if this product is gluten free but im not finding any results. Can you help me with this please?

Hi Larry,

Sorry to hear about your situation. Do you happen to know what imprint is on your hydroxychloroquine pill and/or who the manufacturer is? With this information, I could more easily investigate those types of specific details.

According to the FDA, brand name Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) 200mg made by Sanofi-Aventis contains the following set of inactive ingredients: Dibasic Calcium Phosphate, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Magnesium Stearate, Polyethylene glycol 400, Polysorbate 80, Starch, Titanium Dioxide.

I don't know if you have this same brand of hydroxychloroquine, but as far as I know, none of the ingredients mentioned above are derivatives of gluten. If in doubt, perhaps a registered dietician could offer a second opinion?

Hope this helps!
