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.
