LA HIDROXICLOROQUINA ES DE GRAN UTILIDAD EN EL TRATAMIENTO DEL LUPUS ERITEMATOSO SISTEMICO

(especial para SIIC © Derechos reservados)
La hidroxicloroquina es un fármaco fundamental en el tratamiento del lupus eritematoso sistémico, no sólo por su efecto inmunomodulador e inmunusupresor, sino por otras propiedades pleoitrópicas (metabólicas y antitrombóticas). Es un fármaco seguro incluso durante el embarazo y la lactancia.

Resumen
La utilidad de la hidroxicloroquina en el tratamiento del lupus eritematoso sistémico está ampliamente demostrada. Es un fármaco seguro (incluso durante el embarazo y la lactancia), bien tolerado y económico. La retinopatía asociada a su uso es el único efecto adverso realmente peligroso por cuanto puede provocar ceguera irreversible, que puede evitarse mediante un adecuad control oftalmológico. Existen suficientes datos que respaldan el notable efecto que tiene la hidroxicloroquina sobre el control de la actividad de la enfermedad. También hay evidencias que sugieren que disminuye el daño acumulado en los pacientes lúpicos y podría aumentar su supervivencia. Las propiedades de la hidroxicloroquina parecen ir más allá de su efecto inmumodulador e inmunosupresor. Así, tiene efectos beneficiosos sobre el metabolismo lipídico y glucémico y efectos antitrombóticos que podrían contribuir a prevenir la aterosclerosis.

Abstract
The positive effects of hydroxychloroquine in treating systemic lupus erythematosus is well known. Hydroxychloroquine is a well tolerated and safe drug even during pregnancy and breast feeding, and it has a low cost. Retinopathy is the most serious side-effect associated with its use since irreversible blindness can occur; therefore, an appropriate monitoring of the eye by an ophthalmologist becomes essential. The remarkable effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine to control disease activity has been demonstrated; and there is also evidence suggesting that this drug contributes to prevent damage accrual and to improve survival in lupus patients. Besides the immunomodulating and immunosuppressant properties of hydroxychloroquine, it also has beneficial effects on lipid and glucose metabolism as well as antithrombotic effects that could contribute to prevent arteriosclerosis in these patients.

Key words
Hydroxychloroquine, antimalarials, systemic lupus erythematosus
