Defining Optimally Safe and Effective Blood Levels of Hydroxychloroquine in Lupus: An Important Step toward Precision Drug Monitoring

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) dose of 5 mg/kg/day in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with a higher risk of flares; HCQ blood level monitoring could be a better way to adjust HCQ dose. We studied the upper threshold for a reference range of HCQ levels to inform routine monitoring.
