About Fal-Dp Capsule

Fal-Dp Capsule is primarily used to treat malaria caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. Malaria is a serious and potentially fatal parasitic infection caused by a protozoan called Plasmodium. It is spread through the bites of an infected mosquito (female Anopheles mosquito).

Fal-Dp Capsule contains Dihydroartemisinin and Piperaquine phosphate. Dihydroartemisinin works by damaging the membrane structures of the parasite, leading to its death. Piperaquine phosphate stops the parasite from converting toxic haem into a harmless substance called haemozoin, causing a buildup of toxic haem and eventually killing the parasite. Together, Fal-Dp Capsule helps treat malaria.

It is recommended to continue taking Fal-Dp Capsule for the prescribed dose and duration, based on your condition and the severity of the infection. You may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid heart rate, weakness, fever, and headache. Most of these side effects are generally mild and will resolve over time without requiring medical attention. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not take Fal-Dp Capsule if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Fal-Dp Capsule is not recommended during pregnancy, especially during the first 3 months, as it may cause serious harm to the unborn baby. Please consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding, as it is not known whether Fal-Dp Capsule passes into breast milk. Let your doctor know if you are taking any prescription or non-prescription medicines or herbal supplements and if you have any medical conditions.
