Can I take Hydroxychloroquine and Naproxen together?

لماذا يحدث هذا

Both medications can affect the lining of the stomach and the way the kidneys filter blood. While hydroxychloroquine is not a typical 'NSAID' like naproxen, combining them can sometimes increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects or affect kidney function, especially during long-term use.

You can usually take these together, but you should be cautious. Always take these medicines with food to protect your stomach. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice signs of stomach bleeding, such as very dark/tarry stools or coffee-ground-like vomit. Your doctor may want to monitor your kidney function with occasional blood tests if you take these long-term.

Eye health (Retinopathy)

Long-term use can cause permanent damage to the back of the eye (the retina). You must have regular eye tests, usually once a year, to monitor your vision while taking هيدروكسي كلوروكوين.

Heart rhythm disorders

بydroxychloroquine can affect your heart rhythm, especially if taken with other medicines that affect the heart. Seek immediate medical help if you experience palpitations, fainting, or severe dizziness.

الحمل (الثلاثة أشهر الأخيرة)

Do not take naproxen if you are more than 20 weeks pregnant. It can cause serious heart or kidney problems in the unborn baby and lead to complications during delivery.

الربو

Do not take naproxen if you have asthma that is sensitive to aspirin or other NSAIDs, as it can trigger a life-threatening asthma attack.

قرحة المعدة أو النزيف

Naproxen significantly increases the risk of stomach ulcers and internal bleeding. Seek urgent medical help if you pass black, tarry stools or vomit blood.

الكحول

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking hydroxychloroquine. Both alcohol and hydroxychloroquine are processed by the liver; combining them can increase the risk of liver strain or damage. Additionally, alcohol may worsen potential side effects such as dizziness or stomach upset.
