primaquine and Acute Disease

primaquine has been researched along with Acute Disease in 9 studies

Primaquine: An aminoquinoline that is given by mouth to produce a radical cure and prevent relapse of vivax and ovale malarias following treatment with a blood schizontocide. It has also been used to prevent transmission of falciparum malaria by those returning to areas where there is a potential for re-introduction of malaria. Adverse effects include anemias and GI disturbances. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopeia, 30th ed, p404)
primaquine : An N-substituted diamine that is pentane-1,4-diamine substituted by a 6-methoxyquinolin-8-yl group at the N(4) position. It is a drug used in the treatment of malaria and Pneumocystis pneumonia.

Acute Disease: Disease having a short and relatively severe course.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To determine the efficacy, safety and tolerability of an alternative short-course, artemisinin-based combination therapy for acute uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria, we compared Artequick--a fixed-dosed combination of artemisinin (80 mg), piperaquine (400 mg), and primaquine (4 mg), per tablet--with a standard regimen of artesunate-mefloquine."5.13Efficacy of Artequick versus artesunate-mefloquine in the treatment of acute uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Thailand. ( Brittenham, GM; Kano, S; Krudsood, S; Li, G; Looareesuwan, S; Pengruksa, C; Phophak, N; Tangpukdee, N; Thanachartwet, V; Wilairatana, P, 2008)
"2."1.29Interactions among primaquine, malaria infection and other antimalarials in Thai subjects. ( Davis, TM; Edwards, G; McGrath, CS; Pukrittayakamee, S; Supanaranond, W; Ward, SA; White, NJ, 1993)
