Effect of monthly intermittent preventive treatment with dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine with and without azithromycin versus monthly sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine on adverse pregnancy outcomes in Africa: a double-blind randomised, partly placebo-controlled trial

Monthly IPTp with dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine did not improve pregnancy outcomes,
and the addition of a single course of azithromycin did not enhance the effect of
monthly IPTp with dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine. Trials that combine sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine
and dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine for IPTp should be considered.
