Co-Arinate Adult Antimalarial Tablets (3 Tablets)
Co-Arinate Adult is a highly effective Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) used for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria in adults. It is manufactured by Dafra Pharma and is specifically formulated to clear malaria parasites quickly, even those that may be resistant to other treatments.
Unlike common antimalarials like Coartem (Artemether/Lumefantrine), Co-Arinate uses a specialized "triple-therapy" combination in a single tablet.
How Co-Arinate Adult Works
Co-Arinate Adult combines three powerful active ingredients to fight malaria:
- Artesunate (200mg): A fast-acting component that rapidly reduces the number of parasites in your blood.
- Sulfamethoxypyrazine (500mg) & Pyrimethamine (25mg): These long-acting ingredients stay in your system longer to ensure every last parasite is cleared, preventing the malaria from returning.
Why Choose Co-Arinate Adult?
- 3-Day Treatment: A simple course of just one tablet daily for three days.
- High Compliance: The short course makes it easy to complete your treatment.
- Effective Against Resistance: Designed to treat malaria strains that are often resistant to older medicines.
- Fast Relief: Starts working quickly to stop symptoms like fever and chills.
Dosage and How to Take
For adults and adolescents weighing over 36kg:
- Take one (1) tablet daily for 3 consecutive days (Total of 3 tablets).
- Try to take your dose at the same time every day.
- Take with a meal or a glass of milk to help your body absorb the medicine better and reduce any feeling of nausea.
Important: You must complete all 3 tablets even if you start feeling better after the first day. This is the only way to make sure the malaria is fully treated.
Side Effects and Precautions
Most people find Co-Arinate Adult easy to take, but some may experience mild dizziness, nausea, or headache. These usually pass quickly.
If you have a history of sulfa allergies or are in your first trimester of pregnancy, please consult a healthcare professional before use.
