Antimalarials
Antimalarials are a class of medications specifically designed to combat one of the world’s most prevalent and deadly infectious diseases: malaria. Malaria, caused by the Plasmodium parasite and transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes, poses a significant global health challenge, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Antimalarials play a pivotal role in the prevention and treatment of this disease, offering a vital line of defense against its debilitating and potentially fatal consequences. The development and use of antimalarial drugs have revolutionized the fight against malaria, enabling healthcare professionals to effectively manage and control its spread.

Antimalarial drugs play a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of malaria, a deadly infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes. From chloroquine and artemisinin-based combination therapies to atovaquone-proguanil and quinine, a variety of antimalarial medications are available for different purposes and circumstances. However, drug resistance, adverse effects, and considerations for special populations such as pregnant women and patients with comorbidities underscore the importance of judicious prescribing and comprehensive malaria control strategies.
