Product introduction

Radiant Syrup is an antiparasitic medicine, used for the treatment of malaria. It may also be used to treat and prevent nighttime leg cramps. It works by killing the malaria-causing parasite and stops the infection from spreading.

Radiant Syrup should be used in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Take it with food to decrease the risk of stomach upset. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Take measures to reduce the chance of being bitten by mosquitoes like using insect repellent creams and mosquito repellent sprays.

Some people may experience vomiting, headache, and dizziness as side effects of this medicine. Please consult your doctor if these persist for a longer duration. Inform your doctor if you have a history of fits (seizures) or any problems with your kidney, heart, or liver.

Inform your doctor if you have diabetes as Radiant Syrup can lower the sugar levels in the blood. If you are diabetic, monitor your blood sugar regularly. It may cause blurring of vision. Therefore, regular eye examinations are recommended while on treatment with this medicine. When used long-term, your doctor may monitor the amounts of the different types of blood cells in your blood regularly. Inform your doctor if you have unexplained bruising or bleeding, sore throat, fever, or a general feeling of tiredness.
