chloroquine
Treats mosquito-borne illness
Chloroquine is a medication used to prevent and treat malaria.
It works by killing parasites in the blood.
Once a first-line antimalarial drug, its effectiveness has declined as resistant strains of the parasite have spread.
Chloroquine also treats certain autoimmune conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
The doctor prescribed chloroquine before her trip to the tropics.
