Amodiaquine
Antimalarial drugs are medicines used to prevent and treat malaria, an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. They work by targeting different stages of the parasite's life cycle, preventing its growth and multiplication within the human body. These medicines are used for the treatment of uncomplicated and severe malaria, as well as for malaria prevention in individuals travelling to or living in endemic regions. Common antimalarial medicines include chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, artemisinin-based combinations, primaquine, quinine, mefloquine, and atovaquone-proguanil.
