Daraprim is an antiparasitic drug that inhibits the growth and reproduction of certain disease-causing parasites, helping to control infections and reduce their complications. It is an important treatment prescribed by doctors in specific cases requiring effective medical intervention to control the infection and improve the patient's health.
It is also used to treat toxoplasmosis, which can affect various organs of the body.
Daraprim is sometimes used with other medications to prevent parasitic infections in immunocompromised patients, such as those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It may also be recommended for parasitic infections during pregnancy under close medical supervision, making it a primary treatment for combating certain parasitic diseases that can threaten human health.
