When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Quinine is contraindicated in patients with thrombocytopenia. Quinine can produce an immune-mediated thrombocytopenia. Severe cases of thrombocytopenia that are fatal or life threatening have been reported. Chronic renal impairment associated with the development of TTP has also been reported. Thrombocytopenia usually resolves within a week upon discontinuation of quinine. If quinine is not stopped, patients can be at risk for fatal hemorrhage. Upon re- exposure to quinine from any source, a patient with quinine- dependent antibodies could develop thrombocytopenia that is more rapid in onset and more severe than the original episode.
