Quinine Sulfate Capsules, USP

Quinine sulfate capsules, USP, are a medication historically used to treat malaria caused by certain Plasmodium parasites. However, due to potential side effects and the availability of more effective and safer alternatives, its use for malaria treatment has diminished.

Quinine works by interfering with the growth and reproduction of the malaria parasites in the body. It was previously a standard treatment for malaria, particularly in regions where parasites were resistant to other medications. However, its use has become less common due to the risk of serious side effects, including potential cardiac and blood-related adverse effects.
