Introduction to Lariago Chloroquine Phosphate Tablets

Lariago contains Chloroquine Phosphate, a well-known antimalarial agent. It is effective in both the prevention and treatment of malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale, and P. falciparum, except for certain resistant strains. Beyond its use in malaria, Chloroquine Phosphate is also employed in managing autoimmune diseases, due to its immune-modulating properties.


Uses of Lariago Chloroquine Phosphate Tablets

Malaria Prevention and Treatment: Effective against malaria, particularly in non-resistant strains.

Autoimmune Diseases: Used in the treatment of lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.

Amoebiasis: Sometimes prescribed for the treatment of liver infection caused by amoeba.


Benefits of Lariago Chloroquine Phosphate Tablets

Antimalarial Efficacy: Provides prophylactic and therapeutic benefits against malaria.

Immune Modulation: Helps in managing symptoms of autoimmune diseases, reducing inflammation and immune system activity.

Versatility: Can be used for multiple indications, including malaria and autoimmune conditions.


Mechanism of Action of Lariago Chloroquine Phosphate Tablets

Antimalarial Action: Chloroquine Phosphate disrupts the replication of malaria parasites within red blood cells. It interferes with the parasite's ability to digest hemoglobin, leading to the accumulation of toxic byproducts within the parasite and ultimately causing its death.

Autoimmune Modulation: In autoimmune diseases, Chloroquine Phosphate helps reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers involved in the immune response.
