Primaquine phosphate is recommended only for the radical cure of vivax malaria, the prevention of relapse in vivax malaria, or following the termination of chloroquine phosphate suppressive therapy in an area where vivax malaria is endemic. Patients suffering from an attack of vivax malaria or having parasitized red blood cells should receive a course of [[chloroquine phosphate]], which quickly destroys the erythrocytic parasites and terminates the paroxysm. Primaquine phosphate should be administered concurrently in order to eradicate the exoerythrocytic parasites in a dosage of 1 tablet (equivalent to 15 mg base) daily for 14 days.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web | last = | first = | title = PRIMAQUINE PHOSPHATE TABLET, FILM COATED [SANOFI-AVENTIS U.S. LLC] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=1bfbf4ae-81b8-4160-a00d-6322aadd4b59 | publisher = | date = | accessdate = }}</ref> | |||

Dosage And Administration
Primaquine phosphate is recommended only for the radical cure of vivax malaria, the prevention of relapse in vivax malaria, or following the termination of chloroquine phosphate suppressive therapy in an area where vivax malaria is endemic. Patients suffering from an attack of vivax malaria or having parasitized red blood cells should receive a course of chloroquine phosphate, which quickly destroys the erythrocytic parasites and terminates the paroxysm. Primaquine phosphate should be administered concurrently in order to eradicate the exoerythrocytic parasites in a dosage of 1 tablet (equivalent to 15 mg base) daily for 14 days.[1]
