I’ve been on hydroxychloroquine for 15 years, and I have never had a blood clot. I believe the hydroxychloroquine acts like a blood thinner. I also saw a hematologist just to ensure that I was on the correct medication and she agreed that it’s fine. I hope this helps you.

Usually you are put on a blood thinner. Usually the drug of choice is Coumadin. (Warfarin ,the generic)
Plaquenil, or hydrochloroquine, the generic is used to treat the inflammation caused by the lupus. I hope this helps! Pat
