What is quinine hydrochloride used for

Quinine hydrochloride is primarily used for the following purposes:
1. Medical uses: Treating malaria, particularly Plasmodium falciparum-caused malaria, is its primary medical purpose. Quinine hydrochloride aids in both infection clearance and symptom severity reduction.
2. Leg cramps: Due to possible adverse effects, quinine hydrochloride is not as frequently used as it once was for the treatment of nocturnal leg cramps.
