It is effective against Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, and Plasmodium malariae. It is not effective against Plasmodium falciparum. It is occasionally used to reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and to treat conditions such as systemic and discoid lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, and porphyria cutanea tarda.
