| Message: | Indications:
Treatment of acute uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria for patients in whom chloroquine resistance is suspected; malaria prophylaxis for travelers to areas where chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum malaria is endemic and sensitive to sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine and when alternative therapy is not available or contraindicated. Malaria prophylaxis with sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine is not routinely recommended
Sulfadoxine and Pyrimethamine should be given with caution to patients with impaired renal or hepatic function, to those with possible folate deficiency and to those with severe allergy or bronchial asthma. As with some sulfonamide drugs, in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient individuals, hemolysis may occur. Urinalysis with microscopic examination and renal function tests should be performed during therapy of those patients who have impaired renal function. Excessive sun exposure should be avoided.
Storage instructions:
Store below 25℃. Protect from moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children.
