Advice needed
I have had Hep c and was treated and in remission now for 10 years. I was dagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and was put on Plaquinil 200 mgs bid. My pain hasnt been relieved totally with this med and the rheumatologist wants me to start on Arava in combination. Im scared of the hep c coming back with both of these meds. Opinions needed. Thanks
Hepatitis C doesn't go into remission. You substained viral response (SVR)
which is the same as CURED of hepatitis C. You can't get back what you don't have.
Hope this is helpful

Plaquenil is very liver friendly and will not make the virus come back. In fact, if your virus is undetected and has been for all those years, there is no virus to come back. I believe you are worrying needlessly.
