Lariam

This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Lariam but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Lariam
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Mefloquine is an antimalarial agent which acts as a blood schizonticide. Mefloquine is active against the erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium species. However, the drug has no effect against the exoerythrocytic (hepatic) stages of the parasite. Mefloquine is effective against malaria parasites resistant to chloroquine. For the treatment of mild to moderate acute malaria caused by Mefloquineuine-susceptible Plasmodium falciparum strains

Mechanism Of Action:
Mefloquine interferes with transportation of haemoglobin products and other substances from the host cell to the parasite’s food vacuole. Mefloquine specifically has been found to produce swelling of the P. falciparum food vacuoles. It may therefore act by forming toxic complexes with free heme that damage membranes and interact with other plasmodial components.
