Mechanism of action
Hydroxychloroquine acts as an immunomodulator. It reduces the body's inflammatory response by interfering with antigen processing and lysosomal activity within cells, which helps lower the severity of autoimmune flare-ups and provides a protective effect in chronic disease management.
