Larinate-200 Kit

Larinate-200 Kit belongs to a group of anti-malarial drugs used to treat uncomplicated falciparum malaria. Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by the female anopheles mosquito. Malaria is transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes, which carry the Plasmodium parasite. The symptoms usually develop within 10 days to 4 weeks after the infection.
 
Larinate-200 Kit is a combination medicine that contains Artesunate, Pyrimethamine, and Sulphadoxine. Artesunate generates free radicals, thereby inhibiting nucleic acid and protein synthesis of the Plasmodium parasites during erythrocytic stages. Pyrimethamine binds to haem and forms a complex which is toxic to the malarial parasite. Sulphadoxine prevents the parasite from producing folinic acid, which is necessary for their multiplication. Together, Larinate-200 Kit helps in treating malaria.
