Description
Primaquine Phosphate Tablets
Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of specific antimalarial agents. We provide high-purity Primaquine Phosphate Tablets, sourced from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities. This “Radical Cure” specialist is a top export to vector control programs, government health ministries, and NGO aid missions in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, serving as the only widely available drug capable of killing dormant liver-stage parasites to prevent malaria relapse.
Product Overview
This formulation contains Primaquine Phosphate, an 8-aminoquinoline antimalarial drug.
The “Relapse Prevention” Specialist:
- Radical Cure (Hypnozoitocidal): Unlike Chloroquine or ACTs that only kill parasites in the blood, Primaquine enters the liver cells (hepatocytes) to destroy dormant “hypnozoites” of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale, preventing the disease from re-emerging months or years later.
- Transmission Blocking (Gametocytocidal): It effectively kills the sexual stages (gametocytes) of Plasmodium falciparum in the blood, preventing mosquitoes from picking up the parasite and transmitting it to others.
- Combination Therapy: Almost always prescribed *after* or *with* a blood-schizontocide (like Chloroquine) to ensure total eradication.

Manufacturing Authority
Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.
- Taste Masking: Primaquine is intensely bitter. We use advanced sugar-coating or film-coating technologies to ensure palatability, which is critical for adherence to the 14-day treatment course.
- Stability: The phosphate salt is sensitive to moisture. Our manufacturing suites maintain low humidity (< 40% RH) to prevent degradation.
Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)
Indicated for the comprehensive treatment of Malaria:
- Radical Cure: To eliminate liver stages of P. vivax and P. ovale after standard chloroquine therapy.
- Transmission Control: As a single dose to kill gametocytes of P. falciparum in elimination programs.
Dosage & Administration
Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician/WHO Guidelines):
- Route: Oral.
- Radical Cure (Adults): Typically 15 mg (Base) once daily for 14 days.
- Transmission Blocking (Adults): A single dose of 0.25 mg/kg body weight (usually 15-30 mg).
- Administration: Must be taken with food to minimize abdominal cramps and gastric distress.
Safety Warnings:
- G6PD Deficiency (Critical): MUST test for G6PD deficiency before prescribing. In G6PD-deficient patients, Primaquine causes severe acute hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells) and anemia.
- Pregnancy: Contraindicated in pregnancy. Even if the mother is G6PD normal, the fetus’s status is unknown, and the drug crosses the placenta.
- Methemoglobinemia: Can cause cyanosis (blue skin) due to oxidation of hemoglobin.
