View company portfolio →What Diphos (Dihydroartemisinin + piperaquine) is used for
Dihydroartemisinin and piperaquine are two antimalarial medicines combined in one tablet. Dihydroartemisinin (an artemisinin medicine) acts fast to clear malaria parasites from the blood. Piperaquine acts for longer, to clear the parasites that are left and to help protect against catching malaria again for a while. Using two medicines together also lowers the chance that the parasites become resistant. It is a prescription medicine, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has approved (prequalified) versions of this tablet.
- Uncomplicated malaria (malaria that has not become severe), especially malaria caused by the falciparum parasite
- The WHO product information says it works against all the malaria parasites that infect people, while the European physician guide lists it for falciparum malaria only and not for vivax, malariae or ovale. A doctor decides which one applies to you.
- It can be used in adults, children and infants, as set out in the product information
Get medical help straight away if
- Get urgent medical help for a fast, pounding or uneven heartbeat, or any serious heart rhythm problem. This medicine can lengthen the QT interval of the heartbeat, which can very rarely lead to dangerous rhythm problems.
- Get urgent help if a child has a fit (convulsion).
- Get urgent help for signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, or trouble breathing.
- See a doctor quickly if you become very pale, tired or breathless, or your skin or eyes turn yellow. Anaemia caused by red blood cells breaking down has been reported some time after treatment, and jaundice needs checking.
