Paraquin DS 500mg Tablet is used to treat malaria. It provides a degree of protection against malaria for individuals travelling to areas where malaria cases are prevalent. It is effective against Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, and Plasmodium malariae. It is not effective against Plasmodium falciparum. It is occasionally used to reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and to treat conditions such as systemic and discoid lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, and porphyria cutanea tarda. Paraquin DS 500mg Tablet targets malaria parasites inside red blood cells and disrupts their process of breaking down haemoglobin. This leads to the accumulation of toxic substances, which destroy the parasites and clear the infection. The common side effects of Paraquin DS 500mg Tablet include vomiting, nausea, hair loss, stomach pain, stomach upset, loss of appetite, diarrhoea and itchy skin. Most of these side effects are temporary and gradually resolve over time. However, please consult the doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
