    Glossary Hydroxychloroquine

    medication used to treat malaria and autoimmune diseases

    Hydroxychloroquine, often abbreviated as HCQ and also known by the brand name Plaquenil, is a medication primarily used to prevent and treat malaria. It is also commonly prescribed for autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus due to its anti-inflammatory properties. In the context of hair and alopecia, HCQ has been explored for its potential benefits in treating certain types of hair loss, particularly those related to autoimmune disorders.
