Anti-malaria
Anti-malaria drugs, also knowns as antimalarials, are chemical agents, derived synthetically or naturally, used to treat or prevent the parasitic disease malaria. Preventative antimalarials are most commonly used for children and pregnant women due to high susceptibility of developing the malaria. Anti-malaria drugs include chloroquine phosphate and artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs).
