Abstract: | The shelf lives of preserved antimalarial agent-predosed plates according to the type of wrapping and the temperature of storage were studied by measuring the 50% inhibitory concentrations of drug for Plasmodium falciparum 3D7. The shelf life of mefloquine was 8 weeks at 25 degrees C; and those of artesunate, artemisinin, and dihydroartemisinin were a minimum of 24, 12, and 8 weeks, respectively, at 4 degrees C. |
