Hydroxychloroquine is not a new drug. It is known to be associated with some serious side effects, but stroke isn't one of them.

There's always possibility of interaction of a the drugs effects with disease state to cause new side effects. It may not be likely, but there's always a chance, which is why it would be monitored for as usage of a drug grows.

There's a likelihood of interaction in this case as they both have side effects on the heart. It should probably be monitored carefully in hospital this case.
