Chloroquine works by targeting and eliminating the parasite responsible for causing malaria.

The active ingredient in Lariago-DS Tablet interferes with various stages of the parasite's life cycle within the human body. It inhibits the parasite's ability to replicate inside red blood cells and disrupt its metabolism.

Chloroquine also affects the parasite's ability to obtain nutrients from its host.

By altering the acidity inside red blood cells where the parasite resides during its lifecycle, chloroquine creates an inhospitable environment for the parasite, leading to its death.

Additionally, chloroquine has been found to possess anti-inflammatory properties that may contribute to its efficacy in managing malaria-related symptoms.

Pregnancy

There are no well-controlled studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of chloroquine in pregnant women.

Hence, the usage of chloroquine during pregnancy should be avoided except in the prophylaxis or treatment of malaria when the benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

Breastfeeding

Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from chloroquine, your doctor should decide whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue Lariago-DS Tablet.

Alcohol

It is advisable to avoid consuming alcohol while using Lariago-DS Tablet, as chloroquine concentrates in the liver

Liver

Since chloroquine is known to concentrate in the liver, it should be used with caution in patients with hepatic disease or alcoholism or in conjunction with known hepatotoxic drugs.

Kidney

This medicine is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions may be greater in patients with impaired renal function.

Using Machines & Driving

Ocular disorders have been reported in patients on the long-term or high-dosage usage of chloroquine.

If you experience dizziness or blurred vision, avoid operating machinery or driving until you feel better.

Allergy

Inform your doctor if you have any known allergies or hypersensitivity reactions to chloroquine or any other ingredients in Lariago-DS Tablet.

Children

Lariago-DS Tablet should be used with caution in children under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Never increase the dosage without your doctor's advice.

Older Patients

Elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, whereas this medicine is substantially excreted by the kidneys, hence take only as per doctor's advice.

Antibiotics: Certain antibiotics like tetracycline and macrolides may interact with Lariago-DS Tablet, affecting its absorption or increasing the risk of side effects.
Antiarrhythmics: Lariago-DS Tablet may increase the risk of heart rhythm disturbances when taken with antiarrhythmic medications like amiodarone.
Antidepressants: Some antidepressant medications, such as fluoxetine and sertraline, can increase the risk of side effects when combined with Lariago-DS Tablet.
Antipsychotics: Combining Lariago-DS Tablet with antipsychotic medications like haloperidol or risperidone may increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms.
Insulin and other antidiabetic drugs: As chloroquine may enhance the effects of a hypoglycemic treatment, a decrease in doses of insulin or other antidiabetic drugs may be required.
