QUININE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Quinine is a white crystalline alkaloid derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. It is primarily used as an antimalarial agent, effective against Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the most severe form of malaria. Quinine works by interfering with the parasite's ability to metabolize and replicate within red blood cells. In addition to its antimalarial properties, Quinine has been used to treat leg cramps and certain types of arthritis. It is also an ingredient in tonic water, giving the beverage its distinctive bitter taste. Quinine is available in various formulations, including tablets, capsules, and injections. While effective, Quinine may cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, tinnitus, and headaches. Its use should be carefully monitored, especially in patients with certain medical conditions or those taking other medications. Quinine has a long history of use and remains an important medication in the treatment of malaria.
