Resistance threatens all our currently available anti-malarial drugs. Triple artemisinin-containing combination anti-malarial treatments (TACTs) combine an artemisinin derivative with two slowly eliminated partner drugs. TACTs are undergoing large-scale trials. If they prove safe, well-tolerated and efficacious then they should be deployed. This is in order to protect and extend the useful therapeutic life of the current generation of anti-malarial drugs, which are so essential for malaria control and elimination.
耐药性威胁到我们现有的所有抗疟药物。三药复方青蒿素抗疟疗法(TACT)将青蒿素衍生物与两种消除缓慢的联合药物相结合。TACT 正在进行大规模试验。如果它们被证明是安全的、耐受良好且有效的,那么就应该部署它们。这是为了保护和延长当前一代抗疟药物的有效治疗寿命,这些药物对于疟疾控制和消除至关重要。
