Good Sunday morning everyone. I wanted to know if hydroxychloroquine can affect allergy testing results. I have an appointment Friday for allergy testing .

It is an immunomodulator, and I agree--check with the doc. Good luck Friday!

Saw a listing for an allergy clinic that said to inform your allergy testing nurse/doctor if you are taking plaquenil/hydroxychloroquine prior to the date of your test. I would give them a call ASAP and see what they have to say about it.

Sorry Mommabear.
That’s new to me so I don’t know.
Could you ring the place where the tests will be conducted and maybe see if they know?🤔😊💜
