| Malarone: New Malaria Medication With Fewer
Side-effects "Malarone is a newly released medication for prevention and treatment of chloroquine-resistant forms of malaria, including cerebral malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Studies have shown Malarone to be 98% effective in prevention of malaria which is as effective as mefloquine or doxycycline. Maralone interferes, "with different pathways in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines that are the building blocks of nucleic acids involved in DNA structure. Thus, the agents block malaria replication both inside and outside the red blood cell." Medical College of Wisconsin, Healthlink healthlink.mcw.edu/article/979237802.html |
