| | QUININE - LoveToKnow Article on QUININE |
 | | Quinine was the first antipyretic used, and after the introduction of such preparations as antipyrin and acetanilide it may still be said to be the safest, though it is much less powerful. | | | Quinine does not affect the unbroken skin, and cannot be absorbed from it, but it is slightly irritant to the pain-conducting nerves of a raw surface. | | | In some of the lower vertebrates quinine reduces the activity of the spinal cord, but in the human species it appears to stimulate the nervous mechanism of the uterus under certain conditions, and it is therefore included under the class of oxytocic or ecbolic drugs. |

| | Quinine |
| | It is active against the asexual erythrocytic (blood stage) forms of Plasamodium, but it is not a cure as it has no effect on the exoerythrocytic forms of the parasite. | | | Quinine is classified as Pregnancy Category X because it causes congenital malformations, has been associated with stillbirths, and in large doses it may be an abortifacent. | | | Quinine's anti-malarial action may be due to the elevation of the pH in the parasitic acidic vesicles. |
