Premoquin 64.5mg Injection belongs to the class of 'anti-malarial drugs', primarily used to treat and prevent malaria. It may also be used to treat extraintestinal amebiasis/amoebiasis. Malaria is a disease caused by a plasmodium parasite transmitted by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. When an infected mosquito bites a healthy person, it transmits the 'Plasmodium parasite' into the bloodstream, which affects the red blood cells and liver cells. Extraintestinal amebiasis is a parasitic infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica that spreads to various organs, most commonly the liver.

Premoquin 64.5mg Injection contains Chloroquine. It works by increasing the concentration of a toxic compound in the parasite, leading to its death. It also has amoebicidal action, destroying the parasitic amoebas that cause amoebiasis. Thus, it treats malaria and extraintestinal amebiasis.
