Plaquenil is an oral tablet consisting of an antimalarial quinoline drug called hydroxychloroquine. We carry both the brand choice and generic alternative to this medication in 200mg!

Plaquenil is prescribed to treat or prevent a disease called malaria, common in areas such as Africa, South America, and Southern Asia. Malarial parasites can be found in female mosquitoes and are contracted once the mosquito bites you. Once the parasite has entered your body, it will travel to your liver and begin multiplying, invading your red blood cells (which carry oxygen throughout the body). Eventually, the parasites will multiply so much that your red blood cells will burst due to the overload of the parasite, releasing the parasite into the blood stream. A person with malaria may find themselves throwing up or feeling nauseous, having a headache, diarrhea, body aches, yellow skin, kidney failure, seizures, confusion, or being very tired.
