✅ Description:

Indications

Treatment of all forms of malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, and Plasmodium malariae. The drug is also indicated for suppressive or prophylactic management, particularly in areas where resistance to chloroquine is known to exist. 

Pharmacology

Malacide® is an antimalarial agent embodying the concept of synergism. Individually the components of Malacide® exert inferior results with higher doses in comparison with that obtained with the combination. Moreover, Malacide® is effective against strains that are resistant to other antimalarial agents and the risk of resistance development is minimum with Malacide®. It is an extremely long-acting drug, attacks the different development stages of the parasite, and attains effective concentration with a single dose. The
protective effect of a single dose lasts for approximately four weeks and Malacide® is compatible with other antimalarial drugs and with antibiotics. It does not influence the action of antidiabetic agents.

Interaction

Concurrent administration of other preparations containing folate antagonists (e.g. cotrimoxazole, methotrexate, anticonvulsants) can result in increased impairment of folic acid metabolism, which leads to hematological side effects.

Treatment must be immediately discontinued upon the appearance of any mucocutaneous signs or symptoms such as pruritus, erythema, rash, orogenital lesions, or pharyngitis.
