Were both drugs ordered by the same specialist? Hydroxychloroquine and rosuvastatin are two different drugs that are used to treat different diseases. Hydroxychloroquine is an antimalarial medicine and a medicine used to treat autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid disease. Rosuvastatin, on the other hand, is a medicine used to treat hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular diseases. Interactions between hydroxychloroquinoline and rosuvastatin may occur, leading to an increased risk of adverse effects, especially adverse effects on muscles (myopathies) and liver. Hydroxychloroquine may increase the concentration of rosuvastatin in the blood, which in turn increases the risk of side effects associated with this medicine. If you are taking both hydroxychloroquine and rosuvastatin, it is important to keep at least 2-3 hours between medications and pay attention to possible symptoms of side effects, such as muscle pain or weakness, as well as the results of laboratory tests that monitor liver function and cholesterol levels. If you experience any side effects, contact your doctor.
