Coartem Dispersible x6 Yellow
₦3,150
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 an Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) specifically formulated for infants and children weighing between 5 kg and less than 15 kg. 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. The dispersible tablet format is designed to dissolve easily in water, making it convenient for administration to young children and infants.
Key Benefits:
– Targeted Paediatric Formulation
– Effective ACT Combination
– Convenient Dispersible Form
– WHO-Recommended Therapy
CAUTION: This medication must be administered exactly as directed by a healthcare professional. It is critical to complete the full 3-day course of treatment to prevent malaria from returning. For better absorption, the dose should ideally be followed by food or milk (including breast milk). Seek immediate medical care if the child’s condition does not improve, if they cannot keep fluids down, or if they develop a severe rash.
