Zy Q 200 Tablet 30 is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and certain skin disorders. It helps reduce inflammation, pain, swelling, and prevents joint damage in autoimmune conditions.

Follow these instructions while taking Zy Q 200 Tablet 30:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Always take this medicine with food or milk to minimise discomfort in your stomach.
Do not take more than the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.
Consult your doctor before discontinuing this medicine.

Zy Q 200 Tablet 30 is taken orally.

Zy Q 200 Tablet 30 may have the following side effects:

Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Abdominal pain
Headache
Dizziness
Retinopathy: This condition affects the retina, which is the part of the eye that senses light and sends images to the brain.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Zy Q 200 Tablet 30. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea: Try taking Zy Q 200 Tablet 30 with food or milk.
Diarrhoea: If you have diarrhoea after taking Zy Q 200 Tablet 30, try to take it with meals.

Zy Q 200 Tablet 30 works in the body via hydroxychloroquine sulphate (200 mg). The mechanisms of action are as follows:

Interfering with Antigen Processing: Hydroxychloroquine interferes with how antigens (substances that trigger an immune response) are processed in certain immune cells called macrophages. This modulation of the immune response can lead to a decrease in inflammation.
Disturbing Parasite Metabolism: In malaria cases, hydroxychloroquine hampers the ability of the malaria parasites to digest haemoglobin (the molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen) and synthesize their DNA and RNA. This disruption prevents the parasites from multiplying and causing further harm.

These two actions combined enable Zy Q 200 Tablet 30 to manage malaria and rheumatoid conditions.

Pregnancy

Zy Q 200 Tablet 30 should be used during pregnancy only if the benefits outweigh the potential risks. It is wise to consult your doctor before starting this medication.
