Key Clinical Message Susceptibility to quinoline antimalarial intoxication may reflect individual genetic and drug‐induced variation in neuropharmacokinetics. In this report, we describe a case of chloroquine intoxication that appeared to be prolonged by subsequent use of multiple psychotropic medications. This case highlights important new considerations for the management of quinoline antimalarial intoxication.
