Description:
QUALAQUIN is a prescription medication that is used to treat malaria (a disease caused by parasites). Malaria is caused by parasites that usually enter the body through a mosquito bite. This condition is most common in Africa, South America, and Southern Asia. Do not use QUALAQUIN for other medical conditions unless your healthcare professional has advised you to. The content in this medication can cause serious side effects or even death if used out of its intended use.
Note: No medication is 100% effective in treating malaria. For best results, use QUALAQUIN as directed by your healthcare professional.
Directions:
QUALAQUIN should be taken as it is prescribed by your healthcare professional. Each patient may require different dosages according to their condition. Do not take this medication in excessive amounts, or longer than recommended. Closely follow the directions on your prescription label. It is recommended to take QUALAQUIN with food to lessen the chances of upsetting your stomach.
Contact your healthcare professional if the symptoms of malaria do not improve after 2 days of taking QUALAQUIN, or if your symptoms reoccur after you have finished the medication.
Take QUALAQUIN for the full prescribed length of time. The symptoms may improve prior to the condition completely being treated. If you stop using the medication for any reason, talk to your healthcare professional about other treatment options.

What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
