Tonic water has quinine, not sure if it would have enough...

See:

The “right-to-try” would be a workaround on the FDA.

Whats the deal with buying drugs without a script online. Seeing that people do that with blood pressure meds. It would scare me you are getting some expired meds..or worse

Wonder if there is some vet equivalent for pets

“Tonic water contains no more than 83 mg of quinine per liter—a much lower concentration than the 500 to 1,000 mg in the therapeutic dose of quinine tablets. “
