Qdine 200mg Tablet is used to treat malaria. It is occasionally used to reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and to treat conditions such as systemic and discoid lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, and porphyria cutanea tarda.
Qdine 200mg Tablet contains chloroquine. Qdine 200mg Tablet targets malaria parasites inside red blood cells and disrupts their process of breaking down haemoglobin. This leads to the accumulation of toxic substances, which destroy the parasites and clear the infection.
There may be a risk of hemolysis in patients with G6PD deficiency while using Qdine 200mg Tablet. Doctor's consultation is mandatory before you start this medication.
The common side effects of Qdine 200mg Tablet include vomiting, nausea, hair loss, stomach pain, stomach upset, loss of appetite, diarrhoea and itchy skin. Most of these side effects are temporary and gradually resolve over time. However, please consult the doctor if any of these symptoms persist or worsen.
Malaria can be very dangerous for both a pregnant woman and her unborn baby. While chloroquine is sometimes used during pregnancy if the benefits outweigh the risks, you must discuss your travel plans and treatment options carefully with your healthcare provider. Talk to your doctor to understand what is safest for you.
When used to treat malaria, it typically starts working within a few days to lower your fever and clear the parasites. However, if you are taking it for rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, it may take several weeks or even months of consistent use before you notice an improvement in your joint pain and swelling. Talk to your doctor if your symptoms do not improve.
You should contact your doctor immediately and stop taking the medicine if you notice any changes in your vision, such as blurriness or trouble reading. Long-term use of this medicine can sometimes cause changes in the retina of the eye. Regular eye exams are highly recommended. Talk to your doctor as soon as possible.
It is highly recommended to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking this medicine. Both alcohol and this medicine are processed by your liver, and combining them can increase the risk of liver strain and make side effects like dizziness worse. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalised advice.
No, you should not take antacids at the same time as this medicine. Antacids containing aluminium or magnesium can stop your body from absorbing the medicine properly, making it less effective. If you must take an antacid, space it at least 4 hours before or after your dose of Qdine 200mg Tablet. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
No, it does not prevent all types of malaria. In many parts of the world, the parasites that cause malaria have become resistant to chloroquine, meaning the medicine may not protect you in those areas. Your doctor will choose the right preventive medicine based on your specific travel destination. Talk to your doctor before travelling.
Taking this medicine with a meal or a glass of milk helps coat your stomach and prevents common digestive side effects like nausea, stomach pain, and cramps. It does not affect how well the medicine is absorbed, but it makes the treatment much more comfortable. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if stomach upset continues.
Yes, children can take this medicine for malaria prevention or treatment, but the dose must be carefully calculated by a doctor based on the child's weight. Chloroquine is highly toxic to children even in very small accidental overdoses, so it must be kept strictly out of their reach. Talk to your doctor for the correct child dosing instructions.
