Initial symptoms of malaria are flu-like which include feeling hot and shivery, fever, muscle pains, vomiting, headaches, and diarrhea.
Is it safe to use Lariago 40mg Injection for a long period of time?
If your doctor has prescribed you Lariago 40mg Injection for a longer period of time, you should get your eyes checked regularly. This is because chloroquine present in this medicine might cause blurred vision, difficulty reading (due to words disappearing), and a rare eye condition called retinopathy if taken for a longer period of time.

Can chloroquine cure coronavirus (COVID-19)?
