Therefore, quinine is not indicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment and alternate therapy should be administered. Adjustment of the recommended dose is not required in mild (Child-Pugh A) or moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment, but patients should be monitored closely for adverse effects of quinine.
