ATOVAQUONE

Laboratory analysis of the drug to confirm the presence of atovaquone and measure its concentration.

The level of uncertainty in the atovaquone content analysis depends on the selected specification (Standard <20%, Precise <10%, Regulatory <5%).

Follow the instructions to send your medication to our laboratory for analysis.

Results will be available within 15 business days of receiving the sample for analysis.

Analysis: Standard

Atovaquone is an antiparasitic and antifungal medication used primarily to treat and prevent certain opportunistic infections, including malaria and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia. It works by disrupting the mitochondrial respiratory chain of susceptible parasites and microorganisms.

Atovaquone is one of the active ingredients in Malarone, an antimalarial drug marketed by GlaxoSmithKline.

Purchasing antiparasitic medications from uncertified platforms carries the risk of counterfeit products, underdosing, or the presence of impurities.

If you have any doubts about the origin of the medication, an analysis can confirm the presence of the active ingredient and verify its dosage.

Analysis conducted

Atovaquone is analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled with UV-visible spectrophotometric detection (LC-UV-Vis) to ensure accurate identification and quantification.
