Pyrimethamine HCL Micronised
Whatsapp Order
Pyrimethamine HCL Micronised is a finely ground form of pyrimethamine hydrochloride, an antimalarial and antiparasitic drug. The micronised form enhances bioavailability by improving dissolution rate and absorption. It acts by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase, interfering with folic acid metabolism in protozoa and some bacteria, thus effectively treating malaria and toxoplasmosis. This pharmaceutical-grade compound is used primarily in combination therapies for parasitic infections.
