Buy Primaquine Online from Licensed Canadian Pharmacies

Primaquine is a prescription antimalarial medication used primarily for the radical cure and relapse prevention of malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale. Unlike most antimalarials that target only blood-stage parasites, Primaquine works by eliminating dormant liver-stage hypnozoites, which are responsible for recurring infections. It is also effective in clearing gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum, reducing malaria transmission.

Primaquine 26.3 mg tablets are typically taken once daily for 14 days, with food, to minimize stomach upset. A G6PD deficiency test is mandatory before use, as this medication can cause hemolytic anemia in susceptible individuals. It is not recommended during pregnancy or in individuals with severe liver disease or existing blood disorders. When you order Primaquine online, always use a trusted Canadian pharmacy to ensure you receive genuine medication.

How It Works

How It Works

How the Primaquine Works?

Primaquine tablets work by targeting the liver-stage forms of the malaria parasite, especially Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale, which can remain dormant and cause relapses. By eliminating these hidden parasites, Primaquine helps prevent the recurrence of malaria. It also destroys the gametocyte stage of Plasmodium falciparum, reducing the spread of infection to others through mosquito bites. This makes these tablets essential for both complete treatment and malaria transmission control.
