Proguanil hydrochloride is an antiparasitic agent used for the prevention and treatment of malaria.
MFDS ingredient code M090774
Proguanil hydrochloride belongs to the class of antiparasitic drugs and is used to inhibit the proliferation of malaria parasites. It is primarily included in pharmaceuticals for the purpose of preventing and treating malaria.
Proguanil hydrochloride is converted into an active metabolite in the body, which disrupts the folate synthesis of malaria parasites. This prevents the parasites from growing and reproducing normally, thus preventing or treating malaria infection.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Unlike other antimalarials, proguanil hydrochloride acts by targeting the folate metabolic pathway. This characteristic allows it to produce a synergistic effect when used in combination with other drugs, helping to reduce resistance issues.
