About Lariago Injection

Lariago Injection belongs to the class of 'anti-malarial drugs', primarily used to treat and prevent malaria. It may also be used to treat extraintestinal amebiasis/amoebiasis. Malaria is a disease caused by a plasmodium parasite transmitted by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. When an infected mosquito bites a healthy person, it transmits the 'Plasmodium parasite' into the bloodstream, which affects the red blood cells and liver cells. Extraintestinal amebiasis is a parasitic infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica that spreads to various organs, most commonly the liver.

Lariago Injection contains Chloroquine. It works by increasing the concentration of a toxic compound in the parasite, leading to its death. It also has amoebicidal action, destroying the parasitic amoebas that cause amoebiasis. Thus, it treats malaria and extraintestinal amebiasis.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of treatment with Lariago Injection based on your medical condition. Common side effects of Lariago Injection include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach cramps, headache, hair loss, changes in mood/confusion, vision changes/blurred vision, black or tarry stools, bleeding gums, and dizziness. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.
