Long before the action of the drug itself was understood, quinine was used for the treatment of fever. Not until the 17th century was quinine used for the treatment of malaria. This is the condition most associated with its use although, due to its antimicrobial, antibiotic, anti-pyretic and antiseptic properties, quinine has been used for multiple medical and non-medical purposes.
Quinine Sulphate: Applications

Although quinine is most known for treatment of malaria, due to its muscle relaxant properties it has also been used to treat leg cramps, facial palsy and muscle cramps associated with early onset of kidney failure.
- Non-Medical uses
In addition to medical uses of quinine there are several non-medical applications including use in preparations for treatment of sunburn and in liquors, bitters and tonics.
