For sub-Saharan Africa, India, Southeast Asia, or the Amazon, you need a different agent (mefloquine, doxycycline, or atovaquone-proguanil).<\/p>\n<h3>How do I know if my destination is chloroquine-sensitive?<\/h3>\n<p>Use the CDC Yellow Book country-specific recommendations (<a href=\"https:\/\/wwwnc.cdc.gov\/travel\/yellowbook\/2024\/preparing\/malaria\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a>) or the UK&#8217;s fitfortravel.nhs.uk. Resistance maps update annually \u2014 never rely on advice more than 1\u20132 years old.<\/p>\n<h3>What is chloroquine pruritus?<\/h3>\n<p>An idiosyncratic intense itch (palms, soles, scalp) seen mainly in dark-skinned individuals taking chloroquine. Mechanism unclear (probably mast-cell-related rather than allergic). Some patients tolerate hydroxychloroquine instead.<\/p>\n<h3>Can children take chloroquine?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 paediatric prophylaxis is 5 mg\/kg base once weekly (max 500 mg). Tablets can be crushed and mixed with food \/ honey. Keep blister packs out of reach \u2014 single-tablet paediatric overdose is potentially fatal.<\/p>\n<h3>Is chloroquine safe in pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes at standard doses. Untreated malaria in pregnancy carries far higher risk to mother and foetus than chloroquine.<\/p>\n<h3>Why has chloroquine resistance appeared?<\/h3>\n<p>Mutations in the PfCRT (P. falciparum chloroquine-resistance transporter) gene let parasites pump chloroquine back out of the food vacuole. The mutations spread globally from Southeast Asia and South America starting in the late 1950s. P. vivax has acquired resistance more slowly and irregularly.<\/p>\n<h3>How is chloroquine different from hydroxychloroquine?<\/h3>\n<p>Hydroxychloroquine has an extra hydroxyl group that gives it a substantially better retinal-toxicity profile and slightly better GI tolerance. For autoimmune disease, hydroxychloroquine is preferred. For malaria treatment, chloroquine is more potent on susceptible strains.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I take Lariago for COVID-19?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Multiple high-quality randomised trials have shown chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine do not improve COVID-19 outcomes and may cause cardiac harm at the doses studied.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I do if I get a fever after returning from a trip?<\/h3>\n<p>Any febrile illness within 1 year of travel to a malaria-endemic area warrants urgent thick-and-thin blood film. Severe malaria is a hospital emergency. Tell whichever clinician you see exactly where you travelled and what prophylaxis you took.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is the dose specified in &#8220;base&#8221; and the tablet labelled in &#8220;phosphate&#8221;?<\/h3>\n<p>Chloroquine phosphate is the salt form (more stable). The active drug is chloroquine base. Tablets are labelled by the salt weight; doses in clinical references are usually given in base. 250 mg chloroquine phosphate \u2248 150 mg base; 500 mg phosphate \u2248 300 mg base. Lariago&#8217;s 250 mg label refers to the salt.<\/p>\n<h3>What about combination treatment with primaquine?<\/h3>\n<p>For P. vivax or P. ovale infections, chloroquine clears the blood-stage parasites but does not touch dormant liver-stage hypnozoites. Adding primaquine 0.5 mg\/kg\/day for 14 days (or 0.25 mg\/kg\/day for 14 days, after G6PD testing) provides radical cure and prevents relapse. Don&#8217;t skip the primaquine course.<\/p>\n<p><!-- medsbase-related-alts-v1 --><\/p>\n<h2>Other Malaria Tablets<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/lariago-ds\/\"><strong>Lariago DS 500 mg<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 Chloroquine 500 mg base \u2014 higher-dose tablet, simpler weekly dosing<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/hcqs\/\"><strong>HCQS 200\/400 mg<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 Hydroxychloroquine \u2014 sister molecule with retinal-toxicity advantage and autoimmune indications<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/mefque\/\"><strong>Mefque 250 mg<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 Mefloquine \u2014 once-weekly prophylaxis for chloroquine-resistant areas<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/cendox\/\"><strong>Cendox 100 mg<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 Doxycycline \u2014 daily prophylaxis covering chloroquine-resistant malaria + leptospirosis + rickettsial diseases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:14px 18px;margin:24px 0;font-size:13px;line-height:1.6;\"><strong>Zdravotn\u00ed prohl\u00e1\u0161en\u00ed.<\/strong> This page is general information only and is not a substitute for travel-medicine advice or treatment under a clinician.
