You would have to drink about two liters of tonic water a day to consume a day’s dose of quinine in pill form. Which is doable, but exposes you to quinine side effects.
Antimalarial compounds quinine, chloroquine and mefloquine affect the electrophysiological properties of Cys-loop receptors and have structural similarities to 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. So they might act at 5-HT3 receptors.
In 2006, the FDA banned sale of unapproved drugs containing quinine because of the risk of serious side effects or death.
