What Are the Toxicological Concerns of Antimalarial Drugs?
Antimalarial drugs can have various side effects, ranging from mild to severe. For instance, chloroquine toxicity can cause gastrointestinal disturbances, blurred vision, and in severe cases, cardiac issues. Artemisinin-based therapies are generally well tolerated but can occasionally cause hematological toxicities. Mefloquine is associated with neuropsychiatric side effects, necessitating careful patient monitoring.
