Would Plaquenil interact with Juvederm?

Question

IAM 60YRS. OLD & HAVE SJOGRENS SYNDROME FOR 20 YRS. WHICH I TAKE 200MG OF PLAQUENIL TWICE A DAY. I'M RESEARCHING JUVEDERM & NEED TO KNOW IF PLAQUENIL IS A IMMUNOSUPPRESSANT? I'VE ASKED PHARMACIST & WAS TOLD IT'S A ANTI-MALARIAL BUT COULD BE A SUPPRESSANT.

There is no problem injecting filler on patients taking plaquenil.   I think it is wise to use a hyaluronic based filler, like Juvederm, as it can be reversed if something unforeseen occurs.  I would also make sure you see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

I think you should be okay having a treatment with a hyaluronic acid based filler like Juvederm while on plaquenil. Plaquenil does suppress your immune system but HA filler can be reversed if an unexpected complication occurs.
