Description
Fansidar Tablets (Fanlar) 500mg 3×25 is a prescription antimalarial medication that combines Sulfadoxine (500mg) and Pyrimethamine, offering a synergistic effect to prevent and treat malaria, particularly caused by Plasmodium falciparum strains that are resistant to other therapies.
This fixed-dose combination works by inhibiting folate synthesis in the malaria parasite, a process essential for its growth and replication. It is often used in intermittent preventive therapy (IPT) in malaria-endemic regions, especially in pregnant women (IPTp) and children, as per national guidelines, or as a second-line treatment where resistance to other antimalarials has developed.
Fansidar (Fanlar) is generally administered under medical supervision and is known for its long half-life, offering prolonged protection with a single dose or limited dosing schedule.
