Primaquine (7.5mg)

Overview Primaquine 7.5mg Tablet

Primaquine 7.5mg tablets combat malaria parasites, preventing and treating the disease. Its mechanism involves eliminating the causative agents, halting infection spread. Dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Taking it with food mitigates potential stomach discomfort. Complete the prescribed course, even with symptom improvement; premature cessation risks treatment failure and heightened side effects. Never double the dose; instead, resume the regular schedule. Mosquito avoidance is crucial: apply insect repellent to exposed skin, spray rooms, and wear light, protective clothing after dusk. Potential side effects include rash, headache, nausea, and vertigo. Persistent side effects warrant medical attention. Diabetics should inform their doctor, as Primaquine may lower blood sugar; regular monitoring is essential. Blurred vision is possible, necessitating routine eye exams during treatment. Prolonged use may necessitate regular blood cell count monitoring. Report unexplained bleeding, bruising, sore throat, fever, or fatigue to your doctor immediately.
