Lariago 160 mg Syrup contains a single active ingredient: chloroquine (160 mg). Here's how it works:

• Interferes with Parasite Digestion: Chloroquine accumulates in the digestive vacuole of the malaria parasite, disrupting its ability to break down haemoglobin effectively.

• Inhibits Heme Polymerisation: By interrupting the process of heme polymerisation, a key step in the digestion of haemoglobin by the parasite, chloroquine causes toxic free heme to build up.

• Kills the Parasite: The accumulation of toxic free heme ultimately proves lethal for the parasite, resulting in its death and thereby helping manage malarial infection in the body.

• Store Lariago 160 mg Syrup at room temperature, ideally between 15-30°C.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed and shielded from light and moisture.

• Ensure it is out of reach and sight of children.

• Discard any remaining syrup one month after opening the bottle.

• If you are travelling to a malaria-prone area, take steps to avoid mosquito bites. This includes using insect repellent, wearing long-sleeved clothes, and sleeping under mosquito nets.

• Maintain a balanced diet to support your immune system. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables that are high in vitamins A and C, which have been shown to help fight off infections.
