What is hydroxychloroquine?

Hydroxychloroquine is a medication used to treat and prevent malaria. It may also be prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis and for certain types of lupus, including chronic discoid lupus erythematosus and systemic lupus erythematosus in adults.Talk to your doctor to see if hydroxychloroquine is right for you.Band Aid Icon

What should I expect when you start taking hydroxychloroquine?

For malaria, hydroxychloroquine works by interfering with the growth of parasites, often improving symptoms within a few days. For autoimmune conditions, it helps calm immune system activity, reducing joint pain, swelling, and skin inflammation over time.Clinical studies show most adults with rheumatoid arthritis or lupus experience gradual improvement within 4-12 weeks of consistent use. Your provider will guide your dosing, monitor side effects, and tailor your plan for the best results.Add Icon

Dr was right on time and extremely professionally, friendly and handled my appointment with ease! He made the process so seamless and had my prescription ready within minutes.

The provider was very attentive to my needs and didn’t waste anytime figuring out a solution. The prescription was promptly sent to the closest pharmacy and I was able to obtain my meds the same day!

I was riding to the pharmacy with my girlfriend while I did the visit. My prescription was already called in by the time I arrived...I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Note that all prescriptions are at the discretion of your healthcare provider.

Providers on Sesame can write a prescription – or refill an existing one – during a virtual or in-person visit. Depending on the medication, you can arrange for same-day pickup at a pharmacy near you. Book an online consultation with a real, licensed provider on Sesame today to determine whether or not hydroxychloroquine is right for you.

Note that all prescriptions are at the discretion of your health care provider. Providers on Sesame cannot prescribe controlled substances.

If medication is prescribed during your online visit, your provider will send your prescription to your preferred pharmacy for same-day pickup.

Note that providers on Sesame cannot prescribe controlled substances.

Yes, online prescription refill appointments on Sesame are available 24/7 in all 50 states. You can book these visits whenever you need to talk to a health care provider about a new prescription or prescription refill.It depends! Providers on Sesame can typically assist with refilling 1-2 existing prescriptions during a prescription refill appointment. If you require additional medication, your provider may require a longer or additional visit so that there is time to adequately review and assess your medication needs.

All visits on Sesame are cash-pay only; we do not accept insurance in order to keep prices low and transparent. However, if you do have health insurance and are prescribed medication during your appointment, your prescription may be covered depending on your plan.

When you pick up your medication at your pharmacy, the pharmacist can check your coverage using the insurance they have on file or the information you provide.

To see if your medication is covered and what your copay will be, you can also check your insurance plan’s drug formulary or contact your insurance provider directly.

You don’t usually need a previous prescription to get a prescription online. A licensed provider can write a new one after reviewing your health history and symptoms during a telehealth visit. Ultimately, the decision to prescribe medication is up to your provider and whether or not they think the medication is right for you.

However, if you are refilling an existing medication, your Sesame provider may ask you to see a picture of an old pill bottle or see prior prescription records to confirm your medication dosage needs. Your Sesame provider may also be able to look up your past prescriptions from other doctors through a national pharmacy system.
