Daraprim (pyrimethamine)

Indications

• Daraprim tablets are prescribed for:
• Treating toxoplasmosis, an infection caused by the Toxoplasma gondii parasite
• Preventing and treating malaria when used in combination with other medications
• Managing certain parasitic infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients such as those with HIV/AIDS

Dosage and Administration

• Take Daraprim exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water.

Pyrimethamine, the active ingredient in Daraprim, works by inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase in parasites, which is crucial for the synthesis of nucleic acids. This inhibition impedes the growth and replication of the parasites, effectively controlling the infection.
