Mechanism of action | Tesunate SP Junior Kit is a combination of three medicines: Artesunate, Sulfadoxine and Pyrimethamine which treat malaria. Artesunate and Pyrimethamine are antiparasitic medicines which work by increasing the levels of haeme in the blood, a substance toxic to the malarial parasite. This kills the parasite and stops the infection from spreading. Sulfadoxine is an antibiotic which stops the bacteria from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication. |
