Antimalarials
Antimalarials are medications used to treat malaria, a disease caused by mosquito bites. Antimalarial drugs attack parasites in different places in the liver and blood cells during the life cycle of parasites. Antimalarial drugs to prevent malaria are used before people enter an endemic area, and treatment begins when a person develops symptoms. When selecting antimalarial drugs, health professionals consider three critical elements: the infected parasites and drug resistance in the target area coupled with patient fitness. To maintain the efficacy of antimalarial drugs and minimize the development of drug resistance, it is essential to use antimalarial drugs according to the correct procedure.

Although the side effects of antimalarial drugs vary from person to person, these drugs generally work well for the treatment of malaria. Antimalarial drugs typically cause nausea side effects as well as dizziness and sleep problems. Very rarely do severe allergic or psychological symptoms develop. Before starting treatment with an antimalarial drug, people should discuss health concerns with a health professional. The combination of preventive measures, such as insect-repellent bed nets and antimalarial drugs, makes the protection against malaria even stronger. Modern research continues to create new antimalarial drugs and drug-resistant strains to strengthen global malaria prevention efforts.
