Hi so this is my 3rd day on Plaquenil. I’ve noticed I have very bad headaches and my eyes feel very sensitive and my vision is blurry especially when trying to focus. The pharmacist said I may just need time adjusting to the medication. Has this happened to anyone?
You'll need to see an eye Doc and have a special 'Field Vision Test' that is required if you are taking this medication.
Not headaches but my scalp hurts really bad. It lasts a few days, don't feel anything for like 4 to 5 wks then I get it again. I do have sensitivity to my eyes, I get iritis 2 to 3 times a year.
Plaquenil does affect vision..I was on it for a while but developed an allergy to it. While zi was on it was required to do vision testing consistently
how Do I know if I’m on brand name or generic? My prescription says hydroxychloroquine 200 mg but the tablets say Plaquenil on them
