Predictive comparison of blood levels obtained after oral administration of chloroquine in 3 divided doses at 0, 24, and 48 h, for a total dose of 25 mg/kg (diamonds), and the blood levels obtained after oral administration of 6 divided doses of chloroquine at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h, for a total dose of 50 mg/kg (squares).
