Amodiaquine for treating malaria
Amodiaquine has been widely used to treat malaria. Fatal adverse reactions have been reported in adults taking it for prophylaxis. This has led some authorities to suggest it is withdrawn as a first line treatment for malaria.To compare amodiaquine with chloroquine or sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine for treating uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria.We

Dose-Optimization of a Novel Co-Formulated Triple Combination Antimalarial Therapy: Artemether-Lumefantrine-Amodiaquine. [PDF]
Artemisinin‐based combination therapy (ACT) is the first‐line therapy for uncomplicated falciparum malaria, but artemisinin resistance in Asia and now sub‐Saharan Africa is threatening our ability to control and eliminate malaria. Triple‐ACTs have emerged as a viable alternative treatment to combat declining ACT efficacy due to drug‐resistant malaria ...
