About Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine
Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine (commonly known by the popular brand name P-Alaxin or Duo-Cotexcin) is an Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) used for treating uncomplicated malaria. It has become one of the most popular antimalarial drugs in Nigeria, largely because of its convenient once-daily dosing. While the more established ACT, Artemether-Lumefantrine (Coartem/Lonart), requires doses to be taken twice a day for three days, Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine only needs to be taken once a day for three days, making it easier for patients to complete the full course. This better adherence means a higher chance of completely clearing the malaria parasite from the body.
