When used to treat rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, (Plaquenil) hydroxychloroquine acts as a mild immunosuppressant. It accumulates in white blood cells and inhibits many enzymes involved in tissue destruction.

Answer: Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) was initially designed as an anti-malarial drug. Subsequently, this drug (and others of its class) were found to have effectiveness in treating Lupus and other auto-immune disorders. Since treatment in auto-immune disorders tends to be longer term, side effects are seen with long term treatment that are rarely seen if treating malaria. Generally this class of drugs is very safe.
