Coartem Dispersible x12 Blue

Coartem Dispersible is an oral antimalarial medication containing a fixed-dose combination of two active ingredients: Artemether (20 mg) and Lumefantrine (120 mg). It is a World Health Organization (WHO) recommended Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) specifically designed for children weighing between 15 kg and less than 25 kg. It is used for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated malaria infections caused by Plasmodium falciparum.

As an ACT, it utilizes a powerful dual-action formula: Artemether provides rapid action to quickly reduce the parasite load and alleviate symptoms, while Lumefantrine acts more slowly to clear any remaining parasites and prevent a relapse. The dispersible tablet format is specially designed to dissolve easily in water, making it easier for children to swallow.

Key Benefits:

– Specialized Paediatric Dose

– Gold-Standard ACT Therapy

– Easy Administration

– Rapid Symptom Relief

CAUTION: This medication must be administered exactly as prescribed by a doctor or healthcare professional. It is vital to complete the full 3-day course, even if the child feels better, to ensure the infection is fully cleared. Administer with food or milk (or breast milk) to increase absorption. Seek immediate medical attention if the child vomits within 1 hour of a dose, if their condition worsens, or if they show signs of a severe allergic reaction.
