Chloroquine is used to prevent and treat malaria. It is also used to treat liver infection caused by protozoa (extraintestinal amebiasis).

Chloroquine belongs to a group of medicines known as antimalarials. It works by preventing or treating malaria, a red blood cell infection transmitted by the bite of a mosquito. However, chloroquine is not used to treat severe or complicated malaria and to prevent malaria in areas or regions where chloroquine is known not to work (resistance).

Chloroquine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Olaparib is used to treat ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer in women with a certain abnormal inherited gene.

Olaparib is sometimes given when cancer has come back after treatment with other medications.

Olaparib is also used to treat HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body before or after prior chemotherapy or hormonal treatment.

Olaparib is sometimes used only if your cancer has a specific genetic marker (an abnormal "BRCA" gene). Your doctor will test you for this gene.

Olaparib may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
