It's an anti-malarial (so can hit babesia a bit). Also helps with inflammation. Helps zith/biaxin to work better.

My LLMD says that plaquenil helps the biaxin I'm taking work better.

Also says it has antiinflammatory properties.

What else are you taking? did you start anything else?

My LLMD gave me plaquenil for babesia and he said it is anti-malaria. Does anybody have vision problems, like sensitive to lights, seeing halos? I, too, have the same problems like feeling out of it.
