Coartem 80/480

Coartem 80/480 is an oral antimalarial medication containing a fixed-dose combination of two active ingredients: Artemether (80 mg) and Lumefantrine (480 mg). It is an Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) specifically formulated for adults and adolescents weighing 35 kg and above. It is primarily used for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite.

As an ACT, it works through a dual mechanism: Artemether quickly reduces the number of parasites in the blood during the initial phase of treatment, while Lumefantrine, a longer-acting medication, ensures the elimination of remaining parasites. This combination is designed to provide rapid clinical relief and help prevent the development of drug resistance.

Key Benefits:

– High-Strength Adult Formulation

– Effective ACT Combination

– Rapid Parasite Clearance

– Convenient Dosing

CAUTION: This medication must be administered exactly as directed by a healthcare professional. It is critical to complete the full course of treatment to prevent malaria from returning. For best results, it should be taken with food or a milky drink to aid absorption. Seek immediate medical care if the condition does not improve, if you cannot keep fluids down, or if you develop a severe rash.
