Proguanil

Uses

Proguanil is used in the treatment of malaria.

How it Works

How Proguanil works Proguanil is an antiparasitic medication that treats malaria. It functions by increasing the levels of heme in the blood, a substance toxic to the malarial parasite. This action kills the parasite and prevents the infection from spreading.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Proguanil include nausea, headache, abdominal pain, abnormal liver function tests, and muscle pain.

Expert Advice

  • Proguanil should be taken with food to prevent stomach upset.
  • Complete the prescribed course, even if you start to feel better. Stopping early may cause the infection to return and become harder to treat.
  • Tips to reduce the chance of being bitten by mosquitoes:
    • Wear light-colored and covered clothing when outside after sunset.
    • Use insect repellent creams or sprays on exposed areas of your body.
    • Spray to eliminate any mosquitoes that may have entered rooms despite screening.
  • If you vomit within 1 hour of taking the tablets, take another dose.
  • Your doctor may monitor your liver function regularly.
  • Inform your doctor if you develop darkened urine or yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice).

Frequently asked questions

Proguanil is safe when taken as prescribed by your doctor. Adhere to the dosage instructions and report any bothersome side effects to your healthcare provider.
Proguanil should be avoided by individuals allergic to it or any of its components. If you are unsure about allergies or using Proguanil for the first time, consult your doctor.
Prevent malaria by avoiding mosquito bites through protective clothing, mosquito nets, and insect repellent. Consult your doctor about the need for malaria prevention tablets and ensure to take them as directed. Seek immediate medical advice if you experience malaria symptoms.
Do not stop taking Proguanil without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully treated, so complete the prescribed course for effective treatment.
If you miss a dose of Proguanil, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the schedule. Avoid doubling the dose to compensate for the missed one, as this may increase side effects.
Malaria symptoms can appear as soon as 7 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito, with an incubation period typically ranging from 7 to 18 days. In some cases, symptoms may take up to a year to develop. Initial symptoms are flu-like, including fever, chills, muscle aches, vomiting, headaches, and diarrhea.
Inform your doctor about any existing health conditions, particularly kidney or heart issues, as these may necessitate dose adjustments. Also, disclose all current medications and notify your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
