While hydroxychloroquine (HCQ 200) is a standard treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, we must be cautious due to her heart pumping weakness. Hydroxychloroquine can sometimes affect the heart's electrical rhythm, particularly when combined with other heart medications. Since she is taking metoprolol (Met XL), sacubitril/valsartan (Vyamada), and dapagliflozin (Forixga), we want to be extra safe. Please consult her cardiologist before she starts HCQ. They can easily perform a quick ECG to ensure her heart rhythm is stable and safely give you the green light.
