Has anyone tried this?
I have been watching for this drug for years and recently received an email to purchase it.

When I click on where I'd be ordering from it says St. Louis.
hmm
Cautious about doing so but maybe someone here has had experience?

Thanks.

Tafenoquine is an antimalarial primaquine analog being investigated to treat and prevent Plasmodium vivax infections. It can eliminate both blood and liver stages of Plasmodium vivax. Tafenoquine has also been tested as a therapy for leishmaniasis.

Is this the newest drug? Myself and another Lymie, who sadly, is no longer with us, were looking into a new drug that was not yet available. This one sounds familiar.

I believe so blinkie. I'll bet Pat was the other person looking for it? I often think of her. God bless her.

The other name for it is etaquine and I think maybe it has been referred to by numbers which I don't remember.

yes, that was her. Bless her heart.

I think the clinical trials are done but don't think the drug is available yet.

Yes she was a good person.

I wouldn't think the drug would be available yet that's why I was surprised to get the email to purchase it.

I'll send you the link I received.
