What Causes Skin Breakouts Post Hydroxychloroquine Withdrawal?

Hello, I take hydroxychloroquine for atopic dermatitis and it has been working great for me. Here recently between jobs, i have not insurance so at my regular pharmacy the medicine would have been too expensive. So i went to goodrx.com and it showed which pharmacy had the medication cheaper. So i went to the other pharmacy where i was able to get the medication for half the price with the goodrx coupon. Well I ve notice my skin is breaking out as it did when i wasn t on the medication. Would the different manufacturer of the same generic medication make this type of difference?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As the processing of medicines at manufacturer level varies and this determines the cost of the medicines. It is better to use a safe and trusted brand manufactured by MNCs.
