Qualaquin (Quinine Sulphate) Information

Qualaquin (quinine sulphate) is an alkaloid derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. It is a traditional and powerful antimalarial agent, specifically indicated only for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains. The drug carries an FDA Boxed Warning due to the risk of serious and life-threatening adverse effects, and its use is strictly limited to this single, approved indication. It is not approved for the prevention of malaria and, due to significant risks, is strictly contraindicated for the treatment or prevention of nocturnal leg cramps. Qualaquin is typically supplied as a 324 mg oral capsule and is almost always used in combination with a second antimalarial drug (often an antibiotic like doxycycline or clindamycin) to ensure a complete cure and prevent recurrence. The standard adult dosing regimen is 648 mg every 8 hours for 7 days, and it should be taken with food to minimize gastrointestinal upset.

The precise mechanism of action for quinine is not fully understood. However, it is believed to be similar to that of chloroquine. It acts as a blood schizonticide, targeting the asexual parasites circulating in the red blood cells that cause the acute, symptomatic phase of malaria. Quinine is a weak base that concentrates within the acidic food vacuole of the parasite. Here, it is thought to interfere with the parasite’s ability to detoxify the toxic byproduct of hemoglobin digestion, heme, by preventing its polymerization into non-toxic hemozoin. The resulting accumulation of poisonous heme is lethal to the parasite. The hepatic cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP3A4 primarily metabolizes quinine.
