How does Aralen/Chloroquine work?
Aralen/Chloroquine belongs to the group of an antihypercalcemic, antiprotozoal and antimalarial drug, commonly used for help the treatment and prevention of attacks of malaria, a red blood cell infection transmitted by the bite of a mosquito. Aralen/Chloroquine works by killing malaria parasites, most likely by damaging their DNA (genetic material). Malaria is a potentially fatal disease caused by various types of parasites known as Plasmodium. Plasmodium are carried by mosquitoes and injected into the bloodstream during a bite from an infected mosquito. An actual attack of malaria develops when the red blood cells burst, releasing a mass of parasites into the bloodstream. The attacks do not begin until a sufficient number of blood cells have been infected with parasites. Aralen/Chloroquine is thought to prevent and treat malaria infection in two ways - by preventing the parasite from reproducing, and by killing the parasite once it is in the red blood cells. Aralen/Chloroquine prevents the parasite from reproducing in the red blood cells by binding to and altering its genetic material (DNA). Aralen/Chloroquine kills the parasites by blocking the action of a chemical that they produce to protect themselves. Aralen/Chloroquine can also be used to treat infections of the liver with amoebae.
