Consumer:Chloroquine may make ethosuximide less effective in treating epilepsy or preventing convulsions or seizures. Talk to your doctor if you have ever had epilepsy, convulsions, or seizures, or if you have any questions or concerns. You may need more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medicines, or your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Chloroquine may lower the convulsive threshold, which may antagonize the action of antiepileptic medications. Seizures have been rarely reported in patients on chloroquine therapy. The mechanism is unknown.
MANAGEMENT: The potential risks and benefits should be evaluated prior to initiating chloroquine in patients on anticonvulsant therapy. In addition, patients with a history of epilepsy should be advised about the risk of chloroquine-induced seizures. Alternative anti-malarial agents may be required. Local treatment guidelines should be consulted.
