Chloroquine

This medication is a tablet used to treat and prevent malaria (also known as an antimalarial drug). Malaria is caused by plasmodium, a type of parasite which is carried by mosquitos and transmitted to humans through bites. Once in the bloodstream, these parasites multiply and malaria symptoms occur when a number of blood cells have been infected. Chloroquine phosphate works by inhibiting the action of a chemical which the parasites produce to protect themselves from certain elements in the blood. Once this chemical has been blocked, the parasites become weakened, helping the body to fight them off.

This medicine is particularly useful as a preventative treatment for those who are travelling to locations which are affected by malaria. So that the treatment can be fully effective, a doctor may prescribe a course of this medication to begin a week before departure, and then to be continued throughout the person’s stay and up to four weeks after returning home.

The application instructions for this medication are very specific and should be carefully followed. Ask your doctor if you are unsure. A doctor may prescribe this treatment alongside another antimalarial medication such as proguanil. It is always important to check before travelling if the malaria present in the location you are visiting is resistant to antimalarial treatments.
