Really? This would be surprising, considering the anti-HCQ crusade (due

to possible eye damage). I had to really overcome a lot of fear to let

my son go on HCQ with Zithromax. But I do trust our Lyme pediatrician

to know what is and isn't too risky. Also, our eye doctors didn't seem

surprised to be asked to monitor the situation at all, as they get

asked to do this for many with RA.
