About this item
P-Alaxin belongs to the class of Artemisinin-based Combination Therapies (ACTs), which are the gold standard for treating uncomplicated malaria. It works by combining a fast-acting component that kills parasites quickly with a long-acting component that stays in the blood to mop up any remaining parasites.
Dosage of P-AlaxinThis is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). Dosage is strictly based on the child's body weight.
- The 3-Day Course: P-Alaxin is usually taken once daily for exactly 3 days.
- Timing: It should be taken at the same time each day (e.g., 24 hours apart).
Proper Administration
- Reconstitution: If the bottle contains dry powder, add boiled and cooled water up to the mark indicated on the bottle. Shake vigorously until the suspension is smooth.
- Shake Well Before Use: Always shake the bottle before measuring each dose.
- The "Empty Stomach" Rule: For maximum absorption and safety, P-Alaxin is best taken at least 1 hour before or 3 hours after a meal.
- Vomiting: If the child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the dose, the full dose should be repeated. If they vomit within 30–60 minutes, half a dose should be repeated.
How to Store and Dispose of P-Alaxin
- Before Mixing: Store the dry powder at room temperature.
- After Mixing: Store the liquid in a cool place (refrigeration is preferred but not always mandatory; check the specific label).
- Shelf Life: Discard any remaining suspension 7 to 14 days after mixing.
Quick Tips for P-Alaxin
- Finish the Course: Even if the child stops having a fever after the first day, you must finish all 3 days of treatment to prevent the malaria from coming back.
- Fever Management: You can give Paracetamol alongside P-Alaxin to help lower the child's temperature while the antimalarial works.
- Fatty Foods: Avoid giving high-fat meals (like fried foods or oily soups) immediately before or after the dose, as this can affect how the medicine is absorbed.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of P-Alaxin
- Severe Allergy: Do not use if the child is allergic to Artemisinin or Piperaquine.
- Heart Conditions: Inform your doctor if the child has a known heart rhythm problem (QT prolongation).
- Severe Malaria: This suspension is for uncomplicated malaria. If the child is unconscious, fitting, or unable to drink, they need urgent hospital treatment with injections.
Side Effects of P-Alaxin
- Common: Temporary loss of appetite, nausea, or mild stomach pain.
- Less Common: Dizziness, headache, or a mild itchy rash.
- Serious: Irregular heartbeat or severe yellowing of the eyes (jaundice).
- Action: If the child develops a widespread rash or seems unusually weak, contact your doctor immediately.
Precautions and Warnings
- Repeat Infections: If the child gets malaria again very soon after finishing P-Alaxin, consult a doctor; do not start another course immediately without advice.
- Drug Interactions: Tell your pharmacist if the child is taking other medicines, especially for the heart or other infections.
- Pack Size: 60ml or 80ml Bottle (after reconstitution).
- Form: Powder for Oral Suspension.
- Active Ingredients: Dihydroartemisinin & Piperaquine Phosphate.
