- Malaria Treatment: Quinine sulfate syrup is primarily prescribed for the treatment of malaria. It is often used when other antimalarial medications are not effective or are unavailable.
- Malaria Prevention: In some cases, quinine may also be used for the prevention of malaria in areas where the disease is prevalent, and other preventive measures are not adequate.
3. Dosage:
- The dosage of quinine sulfate syrup can vary depending on the specific condition being treated, the patient’s age, weight, and the severity of the illness.
- It is crucial to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and the dosing information on the medication label.
4. Administration:

- Quinine sulfate should not be used as a first-line treatment for malaria unless other options are unavailable due to the potential for side effects and the development of drug resistance.
