Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine: what to know about the potential coronavirus drugs

[Rebl2]

11. I took 200mg a day

from 1980-2016 for rheumatoid arthritis. Never had a problem until 2016 when it started to affect my eyes. I also had my eyes checked every six months like you. I did have some damage to my retina because the eye doctor I was going to didn’t catch it. I changed eye doctors and he immediately sent me to a retina specialist. Luckily the damage is minimal thanks to my retina specialist. I think if it is taken for a short amount of time it won’t be a problem. I think taking long term like I did was a mistake. I hope the shortage, for your sake, is resolved quickly. By the way my rheumatologist was not happy when I stopped it, but I think I finally got through to her my eyesight (which is poor to begin with) was important.
