Lariago 500 MG Description

Lariago-DS tablet is an effective medicine used for the treatment and prevention of malaria. It contains chloroquine as its active ingredient that works by killing the parasitic organism responsible for causing malaria. Common symptoms of malaria include fever, flu-like illness, shakiness, chills, headache, muscle pain, and tiredness. If left untreated, malaria can cause kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma, and even death. Therefore, it's important to take Lariago-DS as directed by your doctor, in the prescribed doses and duration, and after food to avoid an upset stomach. Even if you start feeling better after taking this medicine, do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor. Stopping this medicine suddenly may result in treatment failure and incomplete eradication of malaria-causing organisms from the body, increasing the risk of re-infection. It's important to inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, and about all the medicines and supplements you take and all the conditions or diseases you suffer from before starting Lariago-DS.
