China rubra for side-effects of quinine: a prospective, randomised study in pregnant women with malaria in Cotonou, Benin

Abstract

This preliminary study shows the interest of China rubra 7CH in limiting the side-effects of quinine used for the treatment of acute malaria in pregnant women.

Plants as antimalarial agents in Sub-Saharan Africa

“…Still, it is the African countries which have had a lion's share of antimalarial herbs. In Cotonou, Benin, the homeopathic medicine China rubra 7CH supplied by Boiron Laboratories (China Group) reduced side-effects associated with quinine treatment of malaria in pregnant women (Danno et al, 2014).

“…By 2009, malaria inflicted about 300-500 million people worldwide, killing about 1 million people annually (Hay et al, 2010). In 2010, it was estimated that 216 million malaria attacks occurred worldwide and the number of malaria-related deaths was estimated at 600,000 (Danno et al, 2014). In 2012, there were an estimated 207 million cases of malaria with over 627,000 deaths (World Health Organization, 2014).…”

Malaria in pregnancy and irritable bowel syndrome

The outcomes were adverse effects of treatment and compliance with conventional treatment.…”
