P-Alaxin is a potent, fixed-dose combination antimalarial containing Dihydroartemisinin and Piperaquine Phosphate. This specific "ACT" (Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy) is highly regarded for its long-lasting protection. While Dihydroartemisinin rapidly clears the malaria parasites from the blood to break the fever, Piperaquine remains in the system for several weeks, providing a "shield" that prevents the infection from returning (recrudescence).

P-Alaxin is a primary treatment for uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum:
Rapid Parasite Clearance: Quickly destroying the malaria parasites in the red blood cells.
Long-Term Protection: Preventing the relapse of malaria for up to 4 weeks after treatment.
Resistance Management: Effective against strains of malaria that have become resistant to older drugs like Chloroquine or Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (Fansidar).
Symptom Relief: Reducing the high fever, chills, and body aches associated with the infection.
The 3-Day Rule: You must complete the full 3-day course (9 tablets total) even if you feel 100% better after the first dose. Stopping early leads to drug-resistant malaria. Heart Rhythm (QT Interval): Piperaquine can affect the electrical rhythm of the heart. Do not take P-Alaxin if you have a known heart condition (arrhythmia) or are taking other medicines that affect heart rhythm. Pregnancy: Avoid use during the first trimester unless specifically directed by a doctor in a life-threatening situation. Fatty Meals: Unlike some other antimalarials, P-Alaxin is best absorbed without a high-fat meal. Avoid very fatty foods for 3 hours before and after taking the dose.
The standard adult course consists of 3 tablets taken once daily for 3 consecutive days.
Application Tips:
Consistency: Take your 3 tablets at the same time each day (e.g., 8:00 AM every morning).
Swallow Whole: Take the tablets with a full glass of water.
Vomiting: If you vomit within 30 minutes of taking your dose, you must repeat the full 3-tablet dose. If you vomit after 1 hour, your body has likely absorbed the medicine.
Empty Stomach: For the best absorption, try to take the dose at least 3 hours after your last meal.
P-Alaxin is generally well-tolerated. Some users may experience a temporary headache, dizziness, or mild nausea. Occasionally, a slight "pounding" in the chest (palpitations) or a mild skin itch may occur. These symptoms usually disappear once the treatment is finished. If you experience severe dizziness, fainting, or a skin rash that spreads, stop the medication and contact our pharmacist immediately.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the tablets in their original blister pack until you are ready to take them. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Is "P-Alaxin" better than "Lonart" or "Coartem"?
A: Both are excellent. The main advantage of P-Alaxin is the "once-a-day" dosing (3 tablets at once) and the longer protective window provided by Piperaquine, which stays in your blood longer than Lumefantrine.
Q: Can I take this for "Typhoid"?
A: No. P-Alaxin is strictly for malaria. If you have a confirmed co-infection with typhoid, you will need an additional antibiotic (like Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin).
Q: Will it make me "Weak"?
A: The malaria parasite destroys red blood cells, which causes the weakness. P-Alaxin stops the destruction, but it may take a few days for your strength to fully return.
Q: Is there a version for children?
A: Yes. There are smaller tablet strengths and P-Alaxin Suspension available for infants and young children. The 320mg tablet is strictly for adults and older teenagers.
