ARTEROLANE - PIPERAQUINE

 ARTEROLANE+ PIPERAQUINE



BRAND NAME:- Synriam ( arterolane malate 150mg + piperaquine 750mg ) 



ARTEROLANE MALEATE+PIPERAQUINE PHOSPHATE together treats malaria. They work by increasing the levels of heme in the blood, a substance toxic to the malarial parasite. This kills the parasite and stops the infection from spreading.

       ARTEROLANE - PIPERAQUINE FDC has undergone multicentric clinical trials in India 🇮🇳, Bangladesh and Thailand. In uncomplicated falciparum malaria 🦟 this ACT has produced ≥ 95% cure rates with a fever and parasitaemia  clearance time 24-28 hours. In a comparative trail its efficacy and tolerability has been found equivalent to artemether - LUMEFANTRINE. 


Thus arterolane - piperaquine appears to be an effective and well tolerated alternative ACT. 


 

USED:- treatment of malaria 🦟.



SIDE EFFECTS:-  are generally mild headache, postural dizziness, vomiting, abdominal pain and Diarrhoea.



DOSE:- 1 CAP. OD for 3 days.
