A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Antimalarial combinations are products that contain more than one antimalarial agent in the one pill or dose. The different agents generally have different modes of action so attack the bacteria in different ways and in different stages of the life-cycle of the bacteria. These products give better antimicrobial action. Having more than one agent in one pill increases compliance and may prevent drug resistant strains of bacteria from emerging.
