Fansidar Tablets offer a potent clinical combination for the management of sensitive malaria strains, available via PakMeds for professional home delivery.

Fansidar Tablets Ingredients and Usage

Fansidar Tablets consist of Sulfadoxine and Pyrimethamine. This clinical antimalarial is specifically indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by multi-drug resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. It is frequently administered as a single-dose treatment, which aids in patient compliance. PakMeds delivers this medication to support patients in regions where malaria is endemic, ensuring they have access to a verified and effective clinical intervention to combat the disease.

How Does Fansidar Tablets Work?

The mechanism involves a sequential blockade of the folate metabolism in the parasite. Sulfadoxine inhibits the incorporation of para-aminobenzoic acid into dihydropteroic acid, and Pyrimethamine blocks the conversion of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate. By interrupting these critical pathways at two distinct points, Fansidar effectively halts the production of nucleic acids required for the parasite to survive. This targeted clinical action results in the rapid clearance of the parasite from the patient’s bloodstream.

Fansidar Tablets Side Effects

Potential side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, and pruritus (itching). Some individuals may experience photosensitivity or transient elevations in liver enzymes. In very rare cases, serious hematological or dermatological reactions may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.

List of Warnings:

• Should not be used for malaria prophylaxis in patients with a history of sulfonamide allergy.
• Consult a doctor before use during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester and at the end of pregnancy.
• If a skin rash appears, stop taking the medication immediately.
