Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine

Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine is an antimalarial medication used to treat malaria infections. It combines two drugs: dihydroartemisinin, which quickly reduces the number of parasites, and piperaquine, which helps clear the remaining parasites and provides longer-lasting protection. This combination works by attacking the malaria parasites at different stages, making treatment more effective and reducing the chance of resistance. It is usually taken as a course of tablets and is commonly used in areas where malaria is common, helping to cure the infection and prevent further transmission.
