Dihydroartemisinin + Piperaquine Phosphate tablets are a combination of two antimalarial drugs, Dihydroartemisinin, and Piperaquine Phosphate. They are widely used for both the treatment and prevention of malaria, particularly in regions where malaria parasites have developed resistance to other medications.

How Dihydroartemisinin + Piperaquine Phosphate Tablets Work:

• Dihydroartemisinin is an artemisinin derivative that acts quickly to kill malaria parasites, particularly the early stages of the parasite’s life cycle.
• Piperaquine Phosphate complements the action of Dihydroartemisinin by eliminating the remaining parasites and preventing recurrences.

Uses:

1. Malaria Treatment: Dihydroartemisinin + Piperaquine Phosphate tablets are used to treat uncomplicated malaria infections, including those caused by Plasmodium falciparum and other susceptible species.
2. Malaria Prevention: In some cases, this combination medication may be used as a prophylactic treatment for individuals at risk of malaria, especially in areas where malaria is prevalent.
