What it is used for: Malaria.
Indications as listed by the manufacturer: Amodiaquine (AQ) in combination with artesunate is indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum or P. vivax malaria and is considered to be effective against P. ovale, P. knowlesi and P. malariae.
How it works: Amodiaquine is a Mannich base 4-aminoquinoline that is similar in structure and mechanism of action to chloroquine. Amodiaquine is converted to its active metabolite desethylamodiaquine and is thought to act by accumulating inside the parasite food vacuole and interfering with haem detoxification. The drug also inhibits the glutathione-dependent destruction of ferriprotoporphyrin IX in the malaria parasite, resulting in the accumulation of this peptide, which is toxic for the parasite. Amodiaquine is effective against some parasite strains that are resistant to chloroquine, although some crossresistance exists .
Active ingredient: Amodiaquine.

Works as expected. Took about three weeks to notice a difference, which the product page had already told me to expect.
Exactly what my doctor prescribed. The pharmacist called to confirm the strength before dispatch, which I appreciated.
Been using this for a few months now. Ordering here is cheaper than my local shop and the packing is always careful.
Genuine product, sealed and well within expiry. Delivery reached Multan the next day.

Effective, but it took closer to two months than the four weeks I was hoping for.
