A member asked:

My dad 63 is sleepless after taking quinine. should he quit taking this medicine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Impossible to say: This is impossible to answer. Why is he taking quinine in the first place? Is it for restless legs? It was removed from the market in the U.S. Because of cardiac toxicity.
