- Uncomplicated malaria
- Malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum
- Drug-resistant malaria strains
It works by rapidly clearing parasites from the bloodstream (dihydroartemisinin) and maintaining suppression to prevent reinfection (piperaquine).
Take P-Alaxin with food, preferably a fatty meal or milk, to improve absorption. Swallow the tablets whole with water do not crush or chew. Take once daily at the same time for 3 consecutive days. Complete the full course even if you feel better. Always follow the doctor’s instructions.
