It may reduce inflammation but so can some steroids, and I do not see anyone prescribing them and they are much safer.
Steroids are safer? Where you getting that? An eye surgeon told me steroids aren't safe to be taking too long as I had to take some for a period of time. One can read about the potential side effects of taking them anywhere on line. I'd have to say the other drug under discussion would be a lot more safer as people do take it for multiple years. With HCQ they're encouraged to get their eyes checked once a year.
