Action
Quinine Tablets are primarily used for the treatment of malaria, particularly in cases where the malaria parasite is resistant to other antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine. It is effective against Plasmodium falciparum, the most dangerous type of malaria parasite. Quinine works by interfering with the parasite's ability to metabolize hemoglobin, leading to its death. Additionally, quinine has been historically used for the treatment of nocturnal leg cramps, although this use is now less common due to potential side effects.
