Maxiquine Syrup 60ml

Maxiquine Syrup 60ml: Malaria & Amebiasis Treatment for Children Maxiquine Syrup (Dr. Meyer's) is an antimalarial oral liquid primarily used for the treatment and prevention of malaria in infants and children. It contains Chloroquine Phosphate, a 4-aminoquinoline that works by interfering with the survival of malaria parasites in the red blood cells. In Nigeria, Maxiquine is a trusted brand for managing malaria symptoms when Chloroquine is prescribed by a healthcare professional. What is Maxiquine Syrup used for? Maxiquine is indicated for:

Treatment of Malaria: Used for acute attacks of malaria caused by susceptible strains of Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, and P. ovale. Prevention (Prophylaxis): For individuals traveling to malaria-endemic regions. Extra-intestinal Amebiasis: Treatment of parasitic infections occurring outside the intestines, such as liver abscesses.

Maxiquine Syrup Dosage for Children and Babies The dosage of Maxiquine depends on the child's body weight and the severity of the infection.

Consult a Pharmacist: Always follow the specific dosage prescribed by your doctor or a Meddylab pharmacist. Administration: Use the measuring cup provided with the 60ml bottle to ensure accuracy. Infants: For babies under 1 year, professional medical advice is mandatory before administration.

Common Side Effects While generally well-tolerated, some children may experience:

Nausea or vomiting. Mild itching or skin rash (common with chloroquine-based medicines). Stomach cramps or diarrhea. If you notice severe itching or blurred vision, stop use and contact a Meddylab pharmacist immediately.

Is Maxiquine Syrup "Triple Action"? Some retailers in Nigeria market Maxiquine as a "triple-action" syrup (suggesting it contains Paracetamol and Promethazine). However, official NAFDAC records (Reg No. 04-5253) primarily list Chloroquine Phosphate as the active ingredient. Always check the label of the bottle you receive for the full list of ingredients. Maxiquine Syrup Price in Nigeria The price of a 60ml bottle of Maxiquine Syrup typically ranges between 800 and 1,450 depending on your location. You can order it online at Meddylab for fast delivery.
