I am from varanasi uttar pradesh. My mother is a rheumatoid arthritis patient. She is on medication for the past 10 years on the same medicine hydroxychloroquine which is being used for treatment of coronovirus. Since india is exporting medicine to different parts of the world, it is unavailable in the indian market. Government is continuously assuring citizens that hydroxychloroquine is available in the market. What to do in this situation as my mother is not taking medication, she is becoming more sick these days. Any alternative medicine please suggest.

Take any brand of hydroxychloroquine. It she doesn't take this medicine for a few days, nothing will happen. Don't worry. Consult a rheumatologist for her disease.
