Antimalarial combinations
What are Antimalarial combinations?
Introducing combination therapy in the African Region should improve efficacy and effectiveness of first-line antimalarial treatment as well as delay the development and selection of resistant parasites to the few currently available and efficacious drugs.
Combining chloroquine and proguanil is an option for CRPF when other 1st line antimalarials are contraindicated. Dosage should be calculated in terms of the base. The adult chloroquine dose is 300 mg base weekly (or in some countries 100 mg base daily). Pediatric preparations are available.
