Guest guest Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Plaquenil is not a chemotherapeutic drug but it is used to treat autoimmune disease specifically lupus. I took it for awhile and never noticed hair loss till much after, so I am not a good help with this but I do believe it can cause hair loss after taking it for awhile. I would steer clear of it unless your symptoms are unbearable and you have already tried the best cure, explant. Hope this helps, In , " DepoDeeva " <DepoReporter@c...> wrote: > Does anyone know if Plaquinil is chemo? > > Also, is one of its side effects hair loss? > > Thank you. > d - > ----- Original Message ----- > From: JOSEPH PALANCA > > Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 8:38 AM > Subject: Re: re : BURNING SKIN > > > Diamonds, The burning could be mycoplasma infection, as it is one of the main symptoms.
