I keep salt water fish. In treating them for diseases and parasites I use Chloroquine Phosphate. I have it in my house right now.

You can find it at pet stores. Canada has banned it (Im Canadian) so it might be hard to get here, but if you are in America, check fish stores if you are looking for Chloroquine.

It's likely not the same form. Why is it banned in Canada?

Don't use it on humans. My BIL took something similar, a pet fish form of something beneficial (I don't know the details because they were too embarrassed to talk about it). It made him quite ill. It took him a month to recover.
