Action Mechanism
The exact mechanism of action of Generic Aralen in treating and preventing malaria is unknown. However, it is presumed that chloroquine denies the entry of pathogens in the human cells. Malarial parasites enter human red blood cells (RBCs) and cause infection. Chloroquine is believed to prevent the parasites from breaking down hemoglobin in RBCs. Simply put, Generic Aralen does not allow the parasites to enter the cells, preventing malaria. Chloroquine has been found effective against P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale, and certain strains of P. falciparum.
