SLE is a long-term autoimmune disease. The immune system attacks healthy tissue, causing inflammation in joints, skin, kidneys, heart or nerves. Flares are separated by calmer periods, and women of childbearing age are far more likely to develop it.

Hydroxychloroquine tablets contain hydroxychloroquine and are used for rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. They come in several strengths and pack sizes. You can compare the price per tablet across options.
No single trigger causes SLE. Sunlight, infection, stress and hormonal shifts are recognised provocateurs. Management aims to prevent flares and protect organs.
Flares can involve almost any organ. Joint pain and skin changes are common, but the kidneys, heart and nervous system may also be affected.
Hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial in the broader antiparasitic class, is a cornerstone treatment. It reduces flare frequency, lowers organ-damage risk, and is taken continuously, not only when symptoms flare. Hydroxychloroquine tablets come in 200 mg and 400 mg strengths. Pharmacy partners in India ship to Malaysia in discreet packaging. For severe or refractory disease, azathioprine can help control inflammation and may allow lower corticosteroid doses over time.
During a flare, get medical help quickly if you have a severe headache, blood in urine, sudden breathlessness or chest pain. These signs can point to serious organ involvement.
