Suggest Treatment For Rheumatoid Arthritis
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have been taking two medications: Hydroxychloraquin (Plaquinil), and Leflunamide (sp?), which I stopped taking because of skin irritations that I thought were caused by that drug. Also, I was using Ketoconazole for a fungus infection of the foot. I see that there are interactions between the two RA drugs and the Ketoconazole. There is a serious increase in the foot infection at the moment. I will check in with my physicians, but will appreciate your advice. Pat Chandler
