Amodiaquine

Amodiaquine (ADQ) is a medication used to treat malaria, including Plasmodium falciparum malaria when uncomplicated.It is recommended to be given with artesunate to reduce the risk of resistance.Due to the risk of rare but serious side effects, it is not generally recommended to prevent malaria.
The side effects of amodiaquine are generally minor to moderate and are similar to those of chloroquine.Rarely liver problems or low blood cell levels may occur.When taken in excess headaches, trouble seeing, seizures, and cardiac arrest may occur.While not extensively studied as of 2007, it appeared to be safe in pregnancy.Amodiaquine is a 4-aminoquinoline compound related to chloroquine.
