About this item
Swidar Tablets combines Sulfadoxine (500mg) and Pyrimethamine (25mg), two complementary antimalarial agents that work together to kill the parasite. Swidar Tablets are essential for the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria (often in combination with other antimalarials) and are crucial for intermittent preventive treatment during pregnancy (IPTp-SP) in endemic areas.
Dosage of Swidar Tablets
Prescription Only (POM): Take Swidar Tablets as directed by the pharmacist or physician.
General Dosage Guidelines:
- Treatment of Acute Malaria (Single Dose): Adults and children over 45kg usually take 2 to 3 tablets as a single oral dose.
- Intermittent Preventive Treatment in Pregnancy (IPTp-SP): 3 tablets taken as a single dose, monthly, starting from the second trimester.
- Proper Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with plenty of water after a meal. Do not crush or chew.
- Best Time: Take after a meal to aid absorption and reduce gastrointestinal upset.
Missed Dose Guidance: For the single-dose treatment, ensure the dose is taken as instructed. For IPTp, take the scheduled dose as soon as remembered and maintain the monthly interval.
Contraindications of Swidar Tablets
Do NOT take Swidar Tablets if you have:
- Drug Allergies: Known allergy to Sulfadoxine, Pyrimethamine, or any sulfa drugs.
- Blood Disorders: Pre-existing blood cell disorders or megaloblastic anemia due to folate deficiency.
- Severe Organ Disease: Severe liver or kidney failure.
- Pregnancy: Use during the first trimester of pregnancy is generally contraindicated.
- Infants: Not for use in babies younger than 2 months old.
Side Effects of Swidar Tablets
- Common Side Effects (Mild and Expected): Headache, gastrointestinal effects (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), itchiness, and abdominal pain.
- Serious but Rare Side Effects: Severe allergic reactions (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome), signs of blood problems (unusual bruising, sore throat, fever), or liver inflammation.
- What to do: Stop taking Swidar Tablets at the first sign of a skin rash and seek immediate medical attention.
Precautions and Warnings of Swidar Tablets
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water or fluid to prevent kidney problems and potential kidney stones.
- Folic Acid Deficiency: If used for prolonged periods (e.g., prophylaxis), blood tests are required to monitor blood counts.
- G6PD Deficiency: Use with caution in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, as it may cause hemolytic anemia.
Interaction: Do not take with other antifolic drugs, such as Co-trimoxazole.
- Active Ingredients: Sulfadoxine 500mg, Pyrimethamine 25mg
- Pack Size: [Placeholder: Available Pack Sizes, e.g., Blister packs of 3 or 10 tablets]
- Storage Temperature: Store below 25∘C.
