New brand of hydroxychloroquine doesn't seem to be effective. I am experiencing pain in joints that I have not had with my older hydroxychloroquine.
Old pill round marked GG260 new medicine oval marked ZC38.

Hi Gabrielle. I would love to hear other people's experiences to see if they experience any problems.....have you felt different using other pills?

GG 260 is supplied by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals Inc. and ZC38 by Zydus Pharmaceuticals.
I wonder if it depends which pharmaceutical company's pill the pharmacy has in stock?

Hi Cody I noticed that the older generic was much more expensive than its replacement! The cost to me was still the same though fortunately!

Hi all, New moderator hear. I love this discussion on Hydroxychloroquine. I have been on this medication since 1992. I do notice that I have less nausea with the ZC38 brand than the previous brand. I thank you for sharing because I never took the time to look at the pills so closely. I do have a friend who has a reaction to the old brand. Anyone else have any adverse reactions to any of the brands?

Hi guys. I am back on my older pill again and after two weeks I feel great again. There is a chance I was just having a flare up during this time period....but it sure seemed to coincide with the pills I was using. I was just curious to hear if other people have had similar experiences?
