Description
ZY-Q 200 mg Tablet is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) that contains Hydroxychloroquine. It is primarily used to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis, conditions where the immune system attacks its own body tissues, leading to pain, swelling, and inflammation. The medication works by modulating the immune response, thereby reducing joint pain and damage. It is often prescribed for long-term management and may be used in combination with other treatments. The dosage and duration should be strictly followed as prescribed by a healthcare professional to avoid potential side effects and complications.
