Brand nameNo maker’s card

We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Krintafel’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Krintafel’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Krintafel itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Krintafel is the only choice; ask the pharmacy for its cash price, or your plan what it charges.

Regular genericNot sold

We didn’t find one. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, ask the pharmacy for Krintafel’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.

What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

KRINTAFEL is an antimalarial indicated for the radical cure (prevention of relapse) of Plasmodium vivax malaria in patients aged 16 years and older who are receiving chloroquine therapy for acute P. vivax infection.

Limitations of Use

  • KRINTAFEL is NOT indicated for the treatment of acute P. vivax malaria.
  • The concomitant use of KRINTAFEL with antimalarials other than chloroquine is not recommended because of the risk of recurrence of P. vivax malaria.
