Hqkem 300 Tablet 10 contains Hydroxychloroquine (300 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Antimalarial action: Hydroxychloroquine concentrates in the food vacuoles of malaria parasites, increasing their pH and interfering with essential processes that lead to parasite death.

• Immunosuppressive effect: It acts as a mild immunosuppressant by inhibiting the production of rheumatoid factor and other inflammatory substances called cytokines, which helps reduce inflammation in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

• Lysosomal membrane stabilisation: The medicine stabilises the membranes of lysosomes (cell structures that contain digestive enzymes) and decreases cartilage damage in joints.

• Insulin regulation: It improves insulin sensitivity and stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas, which can help control blood sugar levels.

• Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place.

• Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight.

• Always store out of reach of children.

• Do not use this medicine after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• If you have rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like fatty fish and flaxseeds) and colourful fruits and vegetables in your diet to help reduce inflammation alongside your medicine.

• Hydroxychloroquine can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure, especially between 10 am and 4 pm.
