What is Daraprim?

Daraprim contains the prescription medicine pyrimethamine. Pyrimethamine is classed as an antiparasite medicine, used to stop parasites from growing and multiplying in the body.

Daraprim is used to treat certain types of malaria in adults and children. Daraprim is not the preferred choice of medicine to prevent malaria when traveling however, as there is substantial resistance to pyrimethamine worldwide. Daraprim should be used together with other faster-acting anti-malaria medicine such as chloroquine or quinine to treat malaria.

Toxoplasmosis, an infection caused by the Toxoplasma parasite is also treated using Daraprim, in combination with other medicines known as sulfonamides.

Daraprim active ingredients

Pyrimethamine, the active ingredient in Daraprim, blocks the reproduction of the parasite once it is in the hosts’ bloodstream. It does this by interfering with the production of a chemical called tetrahydrofolic acid from dihydrofolate. Tetrahydrofolic acid is vital for DNA production for the parasite. Without this, the parasite is unable to survive.

The effect of pyrimethamine against Toxoplasmosis is far greater when used in combination with sulfonamides.
