Description

PRIMAQUINE 15 TABLET is a highly effective antimalarial tablet containing Primaquine Phosphate 15 mg. It is primarily used for the radical cure and relapse prevention of malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale. Unlike many antimalarials that target only blood-stage parasites, Primaquine also targets hypnozoites—the dormant liver forms that can cause relapse weeks or months after initial infection.

Mechanism of Action:
Primaquine belongs to the 8-aminoquinoline class of antimalarials and works by disrupting mitochondrial function and electron transport in the malaria parasite, especially within the liver stage. This unique action helps eliminate the parasite reservoir and prevents disease recurrence.

• Radical cure of P. vivax and P. ovale malaria
