The total DHA-piperaquine phosphate (DP) dose was 360/2,880 mg.
All volunteers were male, except for 3 females in the study conducted in 2013.
Data in parentheses represent the number in each category receiving DP/placebo.
The normal K+ concentration range is 3.5 to 5.1 mM.
The normal Mg2+ concentration range is 1.8 to 2.4 mg/dl.
