Uses of Shingpoong Pyramax

Shingpoong Pyramax is a drug used in the treatment of malaria caused by all types of Plasmodium, including severe malaria caused by multi-resistant strains of P.falciparum. The use of the drug should follow the instructions of a specialist to ensure its effectiveness and safety for users.

This is a medicine containing the active ingredient Pyronaridin tetraphosphate 180mg and the active ingredient Artesunate 60mg.
Among them, Pyronaridin tetraphosphate is known for its ability to inhibit the formation of b-haematin, thereby contributing to preventing the malaria parasite (parasites) from neutralizing the haem component, a substance that is toxic to the parasites with high efficiency. When entering the body, this component will form a drug-haematin complex, which inhibits the glutathione-dependent degradation of haematin as well as contributes to increased lysis of red blood cells by haematin. With these two effects, Pyronaridin tetraphosphate will help kill parasites effectively.
With Artesunat, this is an ingredient capable of killing schizophrenia in the blood of all malaria parasites. In particular, they are highly effective against cerebral malaria caused by P. falciparum strains including chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum. However, because Artesunat does not destroy gametocytes and has no effect on the erythrocytic phase. At the same time, the duration of action of this active ingredient is quite short, so it cannot be used as a prophylactic and anti-relapse drug.
With the combination of the above two ingredients, Shingpoong Pyramax is quite effective in supporting the treatment of patients with malaria.
