Lariquin 64.5/40 Mg Injection 30 Ml

Lariquin injection is used to prevent and treat malaria. It contains chloroquine as an active ingredient. It works by entering infected cells and disrupting the growth and survival of parasites. In malaria, it builds up in the parasite and prevents it from processing blood properly, ultimately leading to its death. It can also help calm an overactive immune system in certain diseases by reducing inflammation and abnormal immune responses.

Lariquin injection is given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic, usually through an injection. You should not try to inject it yourself. After you receive the medicine, it is essential to follow the care instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to it or similar medications or if you have a history of eye problems, especially those related to the retina. Common side effects include vision issues, stomach problems, muscle weakness, skin changes, mood swings, and changes in heartbeat or liver function. Always inform your doctor if you notice anything unusual.

Store the medicine in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Since it’s given by a professional, missed doses or overdoses are rare. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your doctor will decide whether it’s safe for you. Avoid alcohol during treatment, and let your doctor know if you have vision issues or muscle problems or are travelling to areas where chloroquine may not work due to resistance.
