DrugCite.com does go down. I think they update it or do maintenance.

When I was working, I rarely saw scripts for Plaquenil. I worked relief and moved around quite a bit, in different neighborhoods, etc. This drug was rarely on the shelf in most of the places I visited. In the old days, when the patent was still valid, there was some movement. Typically one patient per store would be the average IMO. (many stores I worked at were very busy, doing hundreds of orders daily).

It is not even listed on Patientsville website. (drug reactions)

Here is Askapatient:

The itching factor seems fairly commonly reported, IMO on that site.

When you go on a forum on the net, you are seeing people from all over the country... it can give a false sense of how common something really is. And I think some doctors are afraid to use Plaquenil now. They will give Imuran or another autoimmune suppressant. Just my opinion based on experience.
