The mechanism of action is interference with the parasite's ability to digest haemoglobin. Quinine and quinidine also inhibit the spontaneous formation of beta-haematin (haemozoin or malaria pigment) which is a toxic product of the digestion of haemoglobin by parasites
the pharmacokinetics (PK) of quinine are known to vary as patients recover from malaria, with an expansion of the volume of distribution and an increase in systemic clearance resulting in a decline of the average concentration of quinine in plasma
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
