P-Alaxin Tablet (Dihydroartemisin) x9

­ P-Alaxin Tablets are a WHO-recommended antimalarial medication designed to combat all types of malaria, including resistant strains. This once-daily tablet combines two active ingredients, dihydroartemisinin and piperaquine, to provide a powerful and fast-acting treatment. P-Alaxin’s unique formulation allows it to overcome resistance mechanisms developed by malarial parasites, making it an invaluable tool in treating even the most challenging cases of malaria.

Uses

P-Alaxin is primarily used for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and other Plasmodium species. It is effective against both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains of malaria parasites.

Benefits

P-Alaxin offers several key benefits in malaria treatment:

• Effective against all types of malaria, including drug-resistant strains
• Fast-acting relief, leading to rapid reduction in parasite load and symptom alleviation
• Once-daily dosing for improved patient compliance
• WHO-recommended, ensuring it meets international standards for safety and efficacy
• Suitable for areas with high malaria resistance to other treatments

Mechanism of Action

P-Alaxin works through a dual-action approach:

1. Dihydroartemisinin rapidly reduces the parasite population in the blood
2. Piperaquine provides a long-acting effect to prevent recrudescence and new infections

The combination bypasses resistance mechanisms developed by malarial parasites, ensuring effectiveness even against strains resistant to other antimalarial drugs.
