Overview

Plaquenil 200mg Tablet contains Hydroxychloroquine sulfate 200mg and is available as a tablet. It is classified as a prescription medicine and may only be obtained with a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

DoctorOnCall is a licensed online pharmacy. Orders for Plaquenil 200mg Tablet are processed only after a doctor has assessed your suitability and issued a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.

Directions for Use

Take Plaquenil 200mg Tablet with food or a glass of milk to reduce stomach upset, at the same time(s) each day as directed by your doctor. Do not stop this medicine without medical advice, and keep all scheduled eye (ophthalmological) check-ups, which are an essential part of safe long-term treatment with this medicine.

Dosage

The dose of Plaquenil 200mg Tablet is individualised by your doctor based on your body weight, the condition being treated, and your response to treatment, typically taken once or twice daily with food. It may take several weeks to months of regular use before the full benefit on joint or skin symptoms is felt, so it should be continued as prescribed even if you do not notice an immediate improvement.

Shelf Life

Use this product before the expiry date stated on the packaging. Do not use the medicine if the expiry date has passed.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Nausea or upset stomach
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Visual changes (blurred vision or sensitivity to light)
  • Skin rash or itching

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, or 4-aminoquinoline compounds
  • Pre-existing retinopathy or maculopathy
  • Long-term use in children where the risk has not been assessed by a doctor
  • Caution required in patients with liver or kidney impairment, existing heart rhythm problems, psoriasis, porphyria, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Other medicines that can affect the retina or prolong the heart’s QT interval (e.g. certain antiarrhythmics, some antibiotics) may increase risk when combined
  • Digoxin levels may increase when taken with hydroxychloroquine, requiring closer monitoring
  • Antacids and kaolin-containing products can reduce absorption if taken at the same time – space doses at least 4 hours apart
  • Insulin or oral diabetes medicines may need dose adjustment, as hydroxychloroquine can lower blood sugar

Quick Tips

  • Take with food to reduce nausea and stomach discomfort
  • Never skip your scheduled eye examinations – retinal toxicity can occur silently and become irreversible if not detected early
  • Report any change in vision, night vision difficulty, or seeing rings around lights to your doctor immediately
  • Give the medicine time to work – the full benefit for joint or skin symptoms can take weeks to months
  • Continue taking this medicine even if you feel well, unless your doctor advises stopping
  • Keep all follow-up appointments so your doctor can monitor your disease activity and overall safety

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Plaquenil 200mg Tablet a prescription medicine?

Yes. Plaquenil 200mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM). It can only be supplied against a valid prescription written by a registered doctor, and it should be used only by the person named on the prescription label.

What does Plaquenil 200mg Tablet contain?

Plaquenil 200mg Tablet is supplied as a tablet and contains Hydroxychloroquine sulfate 200mg. The full composition is listed in the Composition section on this page and on the product packaging.

Why is there no information here about what Plaquenil 200mg Tablet is for?

Malaysian rules for prescription medicines limit public product pages to product, safety and handling information. Your doctor decides whether this medicine is appropriate for you and will explain it during your consultation, and your pharmacist can answer further questions when the medicine is dispensed.

How should I take Plaquenil 200mg Tablet?

Follow your doctor’s instructions and the directions on the dispensing label without changing them. If anything on the label is unclear, check with your pharmacist before taking the first dose, and read the Directions for Use section on this page.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

Take it as soon as you remember, unless your next dose is nearly due. In that case skip the missed dose and carry on with your usual schedule. Never take two doses together to make up for a missed one. If you miss doses often, tell your doctor or pharmacist.

How should I store Plaquenil 200mg Tablet?

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Keep it in the original pack until use, and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

What should I do if I notice side effects?

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you, and seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.

Can I stop taking Plaquenil 200mg Tablet on my own?

No. Speak to your doctor before stopping, pausing or changing the dose, even if you feel well or think you no longer need the medicine.

How do I get a prescription for Plaquenil 200mg Tablet?

Customers in Malaysia can complete an online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor, who decides whether a prescription is appropriate, or upload a valid prescription already issued by their own doctor.

Orders going to Singapore are dispatched from Malaysia as an international delivery, so you need to hold a valid prescription or doctor’s letter for the medicine. Check the consultation and prescription upload options shown at checkout for your delivery address before placing the order.

How long will delivery take?

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.

Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.

What payment methods can I use?

Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.

FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.

Can Plaquenil 200mg Tablet be delivered to Singapore?

Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.

Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.

Is Plaquenil 200mg Tablet registered with the authorities?

Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.

An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.

Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?

DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.

For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
