About Chloroquine
Chloroquine is one of the oldest and historically most important antimalarial drugs in the world. For decades, it was the backbone of malaria treatment and prevention across Africa, including Nigeria, where it was cheap, widely available, and effective. Many Nigerians who grew up in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s will remember chloroquine as the bitter-tasting malaria medicine that was a household staple. However, the story of chloroquine in Nigeria is also a cautionary tale about drug resistance. Due to decades of widespread and often inappropriate use, the Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasite that is most common in Nigeria developed extensive resistance to chloroquine, rendering it largely ineffective for treating the most dangerous form of malaria in the country.
