Buy Primaquine
Primaquine (Primaquine Phosphate) is primarily used to prevent malaria relapses caused by Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale. It may also be combined with other medicines to treat malaria infection. It may also prevent malaria infection while traveling for short trips in areas where a specific type of malaria (P. vivax) mainly occurs. Primaquine belongs to the class of drugs known as 8-aminoquinolines. While its exact mechanism is not fully understood, it's believed to disrupt the malaria parasite's mitochondria and DNA, effectively targeting the dormant liver stages (hypnozoites) and also gametocytes, thus preventing relapses and transmission.
