Quinine Dihydrochloride 600 mg Injection 2 ml belongs to the class of anti-malarial drugs primarily used to treat malaria. Malaria is a disease caused by a plasmodium parasite transmitted by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. When an infected mosquito bites a healthy person, it transmits the 'Plasmodium parasite' into the bloodstream, which affects the red blood cells and liver cells. Malaria symptoms usually start ten days to 4 weeks after the infection. They include chills, high fever, profuse sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, anaemia, muscle pain, convulsions, coma, and bloody stools. Quinine Dihydrochloride 600 mg Injection 2 ml is only used to treat malaria but does not prevent it.
Quinine Dihydrochloride 600 mg Injection 2 ml contains Quinine, which treats malaria. It treats malaria by increasing the levels of hemozoin (a toxic substance to the malarial parasite) in the blood. As a result, it kills the parasite and helps to stop the infection from spreading further.

Quinine Dihydrochloride 600 mg Injection 2 ml is used to treat Malaria.
Quinine Dihydrochloride 600 mg Injection 2 ml belongs to the class of anti-malarial drugs, containing Quinine that treats malaria by increasing the levels of hemozoin (a toxic substance to the malarial parasite) in the blood. As a result, it kills the parasite and helps to stop the infection from spreading further.
You should not take Quinine Dihydrochloride 600 mg Injection 2 ml if you have or ever had a heart rhythm disorder called Long QT syndrome, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G-6-PD), myasthenia gravis (a muscle disorder), optic neuritis (inflammation of the nerves in your eyes) if taking Quinine Dihydrochloride 600 mg Injection 2 ml in the past ever caused bleeding.
Quinine Dihydrochloride 600 mg Injection 2 ml can cause a lowering of blood sugar levels. So, if you are diabetic, please inform your doctor before starting treatment with Quinine Dihydrochloride 600 mg Injection 2 ml, and dose adjustment might be required depending upon your medical condition.
Quinine Dihydrochloride 600 mg Injection 2 ml may affect the heart rhythm and cause QT prolongation (heart muscle takes longer than usual to recharge between beats). This QT prolongation can cause a serious fast/irregular heartbeat. Hence it is advised to inform your doctor if you have any heart-related problems like heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in EKG or ECG (electrocardiogram) and a family history of heart diseases.
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is a hereditary condition that affects red blood cells. A defect in an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in affected individuals causes red blood cells to break down prematurely. It leads to hemolytic anaemia, which happens when red blood cells are destroyed faster than the body can replenish them.
