About Chlorotek 80mg Oral Drops

Chlorotek 80mg Oral Drops belongs to the class of medications called quinolines, primarily used to treat malaria and amebiasis. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It typically causes high fever, chills, sweating, and body aches. Without timely treatment, malaria can lead to serious complications, including organ failure and death. Amebiasis is an intestinal infection caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. It spreads through contaminated food or water and can cause symptoms like diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and, in severe cases, liver abscess.

Chlorotek 80mg Oral Drops contains chloroquine, which works by entering red blood cells infected by parasites and blocking their ability to break down haemoglobin, leading to toxic build-up and parasite death.

This helps in clearing the infection and relieving symptoms.
