Carboxymefloquine (CAT: R004866) is a derivative of mefloquine, an antimalarial drug. Carboxymefloquine is a metabolite of mefloquine formed by the body’s metabolic processes. Mefloquine itself is used in the treatment and prevention of malaria caused by certain types of Plasmodium parasites. It works by interfering with the parasites’ ability to reproduce within the red blood cells, thus helping to control and treat the infection. Carboxymefloquine is a result of mefloquine’s metabolism and is excreted from the body.
