Plaquenil, also known as hydroxychloroquine, is primarily used to treat autoimmune conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis by modulating the immune system to reduce inflammation. It also has antimalarial properties and can inhibit the activity of certain enzymes and pathways involved in the disease process. However, long-term use can have side effects, including potential damage to the retina, so regular monitoring is essential.
