Explanation

Quinine is a traditional medication used both to treat malaria (cures) and as a prophylactic to prevent malaria infection. It is derived from the bark of the cinchona tree and has been used for centuries. Ergovine affects blood vessels, morphine is a painkiller, and atropine has anticholinergic effects - none of these are antimalarials.
