Chloroquine is also used by people with lupus.It’s actually one of the first line meds for people suffering from lupus. ( I believe, but could be wrong, that it is a permitted off label use.) When I was first diagnosed my Dr. and I discussed chloroquine but after reviewing the data I made the choice not to use it, due to side effects and interactions it may have with other meds I take. Most folks with lupus who can tolerate it will take it. It’s not solely used for malaria treatment.
