chloroquine and Day Blindness

chloroquine has been researched along with Day Blindness in 45 studies

Chloroquine: The prototypical antimalarial agent with a mechanism that is not well understood. It has also been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and in the systemic therapy of amebic liver abscesses.
chloroquine : An aminoquinoline that is quinoline which is substituted at position 4 by a [5-(diethylamino)pentan-2-yl]amino group at at position 7 by chlorine. It is used for the treatment of malaria, hepatic amoebiasis, lupus erythematosus, light-sensitive skin eruptions, and rheumatoid arthritis.

"A randomized double-blind study was performed to compare the side effects of long-term chemoprophylaxis of malaria with Fansidar (1 tablet a week) with those of a 300-mg weekly chloroquine regimen."5.05Tolerability of long-term prophylaxis with fansidar: a randomized double-blind study in Nigeria. ( Leimer, R; Stemberger, H; Wiedermann, G, 1984)
"Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine effectively suppress rheumatoid arthritis with a superior benefit to risk ratio."5.05Antimalarial drugs for rheumatoid arthritis. ( Mackenzie, AH, 1983)
"Ophthalmic examinations and selected tests of visual function were performed on 64 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had received daily doses of 200 mg chloroquine sulphate for periods ranging from 3 to 11 months."3.69Visual function and long-term chloroquine treatment. ( Anderson, IF; Bartel, PR; Becker, PJ; Brighton, SW; Robinson, E; Roux, P; van der Hoven, HJ, 1994)
"Numerous systemic drugs produce adverse effects that involve the eye."2.38Ocular side effects of selected systemic drugs. ( Jaanus, SD, 1992)
"Chloroquine-induced maculopathy may progress years after drug cessation and an apparent period of visual stability."1.46Delayed progression of bull's eye maculopathy. ( Jain, NG; Jain, S, 2017)
" Retinal toxicity may represent a rare adverse reaction to zoledronic acid, but this case suggests that caution should be used when administering this medication to patients with compromised retinal integrity."1.40Severe visual loss secondary to retinal toxicity after intravenous use of bisphosphonate in an eye with known chloroquine maculopathy. ( Bursztyn, LL; Masri, M; Sheidow, TG, 2014)
"Chloroquine maculopathy has a major impact on the vision-related health status of affected patients, emphasizing the need for its anticipation."1.39[Ophthalmologic screening history and vision-targeted health status of patients suffering from chloroquine maculopathy]. ( Bergholz, R; Joussen, AM; Rüther, K; Schroeter, J; Tillack, H, 2013)
" In patients in whom the daily dosage of hydroxychloroquine could be estimated (12 of 13), when using actual body weight, 8 were taking 6."1.37Retinal toxicity associated with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine: risk factors, screening, and progression despite cessation of therapy. ( Francis, PJ; Michaelides, M; Stover, NB; Weleber, RG, 2011)
"Serious visual impairment related to chloroquine rarely occurs if the daily dose does not exceed 250 mg."1.26Chloroquine retinopathy: is there a safe daily dose? ( Marks, JS, 1982)
