description Product Description
Quinine sulfate dihydrate is primarily used as an antimalarial medication, effectively treating malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. It is particularly valuable in regions where malaria strains are resistant to other treatments. Additionally, it is employed to manage nocturnal leg cramps, providing relief from muscle spasms. In some cases, it is used off-label for its antipyretic and analgesic properties. The compound is also utilized in research studies to investigate its effects on cellular mechanisms and potential therapeutic applications beyond malaria treatment. Its bitter taste makes it a component in tonic water, historically used to prevent malaria.
