適応症:

Primaquine phosphate is indicated for the radical cure (prevention of relapse) of vivax malaria. Severe glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency (see WARNINGS). Pregnant women (see WARNINGS, Usage in Pregnancy). Primaquine phosphate is contraindicated in acutely ill patients suffering from systemic disease manifested by tendency to granulocytopenia, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus. The drug is also contraindicated in patients receiving concurrently other potentially hemolytic drugs or depressants of myeloid elements of the bone marrow. Because quinacrine hydrochloride appears to potentiate the toxicity of antimalarial compounds which are structurally related to primaquine, the use of quinacrine in patients receiving primaquine is contraindicated. Similarly, primaquine should not be administered to patients who have received quinacrine recently, as toxicity is increased.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Primaquine phosphate is an 8-amino-quinoline compound which eliminates
tissue
(exoerythrocytic) infection. Thereby, it prevents the development of
the blood
(erythrocytic) forms of the parasite which are responsible for
relapses in vivax malaria.
Primaquine phosphate is also active against gametocytes of_ Plasmodium
falciparum._
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Primaquine phosphate is indicated for the radical cure (prevention of
relapse) of vivax
malaria.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Severe glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency (see
WARNINGS).
Pregnant women (see WARNINGS, Usage in Pregnancy).
Primaquine phosphate is contraindicated in acutely ill patients
suffering from systemic
disease manifested by tendency to granulocytopenia, such as rheumatoid
arthritis and
lupus erythematosus. The drug is also contraindicated in patients
receiving concurrently
other potentially hemolytic drugs or depressants of myeloid elements
of the bone
marrow.
Because quinacrine hydrochloride appears to potentiate the toxicity of
antimalarial
compounds which are structurally related to primaquine, the use of
quinacrine in
patients receiving primaquine is contraindicated. Similarly,
primaquine should not be
administered to patients who have received quinacrine recently, as
toxicity is increased.
