My mother is patient of rheumatoid arthritis for 11 - 12 years and she is being treated by best possible doctors in Varanasi. Currently one of her medicine is missing from market and isn't available anywhere in whole Varanasi. Her medicine, HYDROQUIN which she takes regularly is not available in whole Varanasi, due to some manufacturer's issue. Medical shop owner has told me that it will take more than a month. I contacted my mother's doctor and he is in USA and will return in January 2018. My mother is without her medicine and she is now suffering pain everywhere in her body. I want to know that whether I can giver her same combination medicine of other company or not? HYDROQUIN is missing from market.

There are many other brands like hcq, zyq, hqtor etc. I don't think stopping hcq should lead to so much pain. Hcq is a very mild drug for RA. I hope she is taking other drugs properly.
