Pyrimethamine (single-entity preparation) and fixed-combination preparation containing sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine (Fansidar ® ) have been used for prevention (prophylaxis) of malaria, but are no longer recommended by CDC or others for malaria prevention. Resistance to pyrimethamine is prevalent worldwide; resistance to Fansidar ® is widespread in certain areas (e.g., Amazon basin area of South America, Southeast Asia, other parts of Asia, large parts of Africa). Consider use of Fansidar ® for malaria prophylaxis only in individuals traveling to areas where chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria is endemic and susceptible to the drug and only when other antimalarials (chloroquine, mefloquine, doxycycline, fixed combination of atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride [Malarone ® ]) are unavailable or contraindicated.
