What is Krintafel?

Krintafel is an anti-malaria medicine that works by interfering with the growth of parasites in the red blood cells of the human body.

Parasites that cause malaria typically enter the body through the bite of a mosquito. Malaria is common in areas such as Africa, South America, and Southern Asia.

Krintafel is used to treat malaria in people who are also using other anti-malaria medications.

Krintafel may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Important Information

You should not use Krintafel if you have a genetic enzyme deficiency called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Your doctor will perform a test to make sure you do not have this condition.

Do not breast-feed while using Krintafel, if your baby has G6PD deficiency (or has not been tested for it). If the baby does have G6PD deficiency, you should also not breast-feed for at least 3 months after your last dose of tafenoquine.

You may need to have a negative pregnancy test before starting this treatment.
