How does Malswift work?

Dr. Abhijit MBBS , General Physician

Malswift contains chloroquine. It has antimalarial, amebicidal, and immunosuppressant activity. It is presumed that Malswift works by increasing pH in the acid vesicles of parasite which interferes in the parasite's ability to break down and digest hemoglobin. Malarial parasites need hemoglobin for growth and survival. This results in starvation and death of parasites.

However, the exact mechanism how it works in these autoimmune diseases is still unknown.
