Comparing Coartem vs Hydroxychloroquine

For Malaria: Best for malaria in my opinion. I’ve had malaria 5 times now and found this the best. Tried other medications but the side effects and result don’t compare, well for me that is. On other meds I was sick for weeks not clearing the parasites out but with this three days are a rest day or two after and feel ok.

For Malaria: I was treated with this after contracting malaria three times in East Africa. It's a fantastic drug, low or no side effects and works quickly.

For Rheumatoid Arthritis: hydroxychloroquine is a good drug for mild arthritis however length of time it takes for drug to leave body is worrying when you are faced with loosing your sight and possible progression after you stopped taking the drug. Also check the dose is correct for your ideal weight do you are not over medicated.

For Rheumatoid Arthritis: Better than the biologics or methotrexate that caused my lungs to burn up. However, after 7 years of 200 mg b.i.d. I think the time has come to quit this too, I have been experiencing nausea and liver pain for the last few weeks and just recently vomiting and hives followed by four hours of dry heaves. My liver (under and just beneath my right rib cage feels painful and swollen). The biologics are nasty too and my internist said 10 years is max on them as they are know to cause kidney/liver failure in his experience (42 years as an internist). I am not sure where to go from here. This is an awful disease. Diagnosed at 48. Only thing I know to keep the pain at bay is get up and move and don't stop until it's time for bed.
