Aralen is a tablet containing chloroquine, supplied in 250 mg and 500 mg strengths. It is used to treat malaria. The originator company is Sanofi, and the same medicine also appears under the names Avloclor and Nivaquine. Chloroquine belongs to the aminoquinoline group and works by interfering with the growth of parasites inside the red blood cells.
Onset is usually within 1 to 2 hours, and how long treatment continues depends on the length of the course.
