Primaquine tablet
What is primaquine?
Primaquine is a medication to treat or prevent malaria, a disease caused by parasites. primaquine works by interfering with the growth of parasites in the body.
Parasites that cause malaria typically enter the body through the bite of a mosquito. Malaria is common in areas such as Africa, South America, and Southern Asia.
Vivax malaria is a form of malaria in which parasites travel from the bloodstream into other cells and tissues of the body. This can cause a second infection (relapse) to occur.
Primaquine is used to prevent malaria from coming back in people who have been infected with the vivax form of this disease.
Primaquine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
