Sulfadoxine is a sulfonamide combined with pyrimethamine. Together they block the malaria parasite's use of folic acid, which stops it from multiplying.
Do not use it if you are allergic to sulfa medicines. Stop immediately and seek urgent help if you develop a rash, blisters, peeling skin or mouth ulcers, as serious skin reactions can occur. Tell your doctor about liver, kidney or blood problems.
