Description

Artesunate + Sulfadoxine & Pyrimethamine Tablets (Combi-Kit)

Manufactured by: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. (WHO-GMP Certified)
Exported by: Healthy Inc (Star Export House)

1. Product Introduction

Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. is a specialized Manufacturer of Artesunate + Sulfadoxine & Pyrimethamine (AS+SP) Tablets in India. This product is an Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT), which is the Gold Standard recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria.

We offer Contract Manufacturing (Third Party) for this anti-malarial kit. Because Artesunate is chemically sensitive to the alkaline nature of Sulfadoxine, we typically manufacture this as a Co-Blistered Combi-Kit (separate tablets in the same blister) to ensure maximum stability and shelf-life. Our WHO-GMP certified facility in Mumbai supplies this critical medicine to malaria-endemic regions in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

3. Manufacturing Technology

Manufacturing ACTs requires strict environmental control to prevent degradation.

  • The Manufacturer: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd.
    • Artesunate Stability: Artesunate is highly sensitive to moisture and hydrolysis (breaking down in water). We process it in Low-Humidity Suites (< 30% RH) and use moisture-protective coating.
    • Segregation: Since Sulfadoxine/Pyrimethamine is alkaline and can destabilize Artesunate if mixed directly, we utilize Co-Blistering Technology. This places the Artesunate tablets and SP tablets in separate pockets within the same blister sheet, ensuring they remain chemically stable while providing a convenient single-dose unit for the patient.
  • The Exporter: Healthy Inc
    Healthy Inc manages the supply chain for malaria programs. We use Alu-Alu / Alu-PVC-PVDC Blisters to provide a high barrier against tropical humidity. We are experienced in meeting the stringent requirements of National Malaria Control Programs (NMCP) and NGO tenders.

4. Quality Assurance

  • Dissolution: We test the release rate of Artesunate (fast release) and SP (slower release) to ensure bioequivalence.
  • Related Substances: We monitor for Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and other impurities to ensure the drug retains its potency over 3 years.
  • Microbial Limits: Strict bioburden testing is conducted to ensure patient safety.

5. Why Use Artesunate + SP?

This combination combats resistance and ensures a cure.

  • Mechanism:
    • Artesunate: Rapidly reduces the parasite biomass (kills 99% of parasites in the first 24 hours).
    • Sulfadoxine & Pyrimethamine: Has a longer half-life; it eliminates the remaining parasites (“mop-up” action) to prevent recrudescence (return of infection).
  • Key Indications:
    • Uncomplicated Malaria: Treatment of P. falciparum malaria.
    • Intermittent Preventive Treatment (IPT): SP alone is often used for prevention in pregnancy, but the combination is for acute treatment.

6. Export and Regulatory Support

  • Dossier Support: We offer CTD and ACTD Dossiers for quick registration.
  • Certificates: Free Sale Certificate (FSC), COPP (WHO-GMP), and COA.
  • Logistics: Efficient shipping via Air or Sea (FOB Mumbai / CIF).

7. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why are there two different types of tablets in the pack?
A: One is Artesunate (usually yellow or white, round) and the other is SP (usually white, large). They must be taken together as directed to cure malaria completely.

Q: Can this be used for Chloroquine-resistant malaria?
A: Yes, this is specifically designed for areas where Chloroquine resistance is high.

Q: Who manufactures Artesunate SP Kits?
A: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. manufactures them in India using stability-enhanced packaging.
