Pyramax 180mg/60mg - Advanced Malaria Treatment in Nigeria

Pyramax is a potent, fixed-dose combination antimalarial medicine used to treat uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. This treatment combines two powerful active ingredients, Pyronaridine tetraphosphate (180mg) and Artesunate (60mg), which work together to rapidly clear malaria parasites from the blood.

Why Choose Pyramax?

In Nigeria, where malaria is common, having a fast-acting and reliable treatment is essential. Pyramax belongs to the Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) class, which is the gold standard for malaria treatment. It is formulated to provide sharp relief from malaria symptoms and ensure a high cure rate with a short three-day treatment course.

Dosage and How to Take

Pyramax is usually taken once daily for three consecutive days. It is important to take the tablets with food to help your body absorb the medicine properly. For adults and children weighing 20kg or more, the number of tablets depends on the patient's weight.

Always complete the full three-day course, even if you start feeling better after the first or second dose. This ensures all parasites are cleared and helps prevent the malaria from coming back. If you are unsure about the dosage or have questions like "how long does Pyramax take to work", you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.

Important Precautions

Pyramax is generally well-tolerated, but it should not be used by patients with severe liver disease. Pregnant women, especially in their first trimester, should consult a doctor before using this medication. Common side effects may include nausea, headache, or dizziness. If you experience any severe or unusual symptoms, seek medical advice immediately.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
