Daraprim (active ingredient: pyrimethamine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Toxoplasmosis: Daraprim is used in combination with a sulfonamide for the treatment of toxoplasmosis, an infection caused by the Toxoplasma gondii parasite.
  2. Malaria: It is indicated for the treatment and prevention of acute malaria, particularly in cases of chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum.

Daraprim belongs to a class of drugs known as antiparasitics, which work by inhibiting the synthesis of folic acid in parasites, thereby stopping their growth and replication.

Daraprim tablet is typically taken orally once or twice daily, or as directed by your doctor. Take the medication with food to decrease nausea and vomiting. If severe vomiting occurs, your doctor may adjust your dose or direct you to stop taking the medication. Do not take more or less of this drug than prescribed. Do not stop taking it before completing this prescription unless directed to do so by your doctor, even if you feel better. Skipping or changing your dose without approval from your doctor may cause the number of parasites to increase, make the infection more difficult to treat (resistant), or worsen side effects.

The recommended dosage of Daraprim depends on the specific condition being treated, as well as the patient’s age, weight, and medical history.

  • For toxoplasmosis, the recommended dosage of Daraprim is typically 50-75 mg per day, taken orally in divided doses for several weeks.
  • For malaria, the dosage may vary based on the severity of the infection and the patient’s weight but is typically given in combination with other medications such as artesunate.
