Description
PRIMAQUINE 7.5 TABLET contains Primaquine Phosphate, a synthetic antimalarial agent used as a key component in the radical treatment of vivax and ovale malaria. Unlike blood-stage antimalarials, Primaquine is effective against hypnozoites—the dormant liver stages of the parasite responsible for relapse.
This medication is commonly used following the administration of a blood schizonticide like chloroquine to ensure a complete cure by eradicating any residual liver-stage parasites. PRIMAQUINE 7.5 TABLET is also effective in gametocytocidal activity, thereby reducing malaria transmission.
Manufactured in WHO-GMP-compliant facilities, PRIMAQUINE 7.5 TABLET is globally distributed by BLUEPILL EXPRESS, a reputed pharmaceutical exporter with expertise in antimalarial therapy production and distribution.
