How It Works
Piramal Suspension combines the potent antimalarial effects of two active ingredients: dihydroartemisinin and piperaquine. Dihydroartemisinin, a derivative of artemisinin, rapidly reduces the number of parasites in the bloodstream, while piperaquine acts as a longer-acting partner drug, eliminating any remaining parasites and preventing recrudescence. This synergistic action ensures complete clearance of the parasite while minimizing the risk of resistance development.
