Effective Malaria Treatment with Amatem Soft Gel
Amatem Soft Gel 20/120 is a highly effective Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) used for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated malaria. It contains a synergistic blend of Artemether (20mg) and Lumefantrine (120mg). This combination is designed to rapidly kill malaria parasites in the blood, providing fast relief from fever, chills, and body aches.
The softgel formulation is preferred by many in Nigeria because it is easier to swallow and offers better absorption compared to regular tablets.
Why Choose Amatem Soft Gel?
- Fast Action: Artemether works quickly to reduce the number of parasites in your system.
- Complete Eradication: Lumefantrine stays in your body longer to ensure all remaining parasites are cleared, preventing the malaria from coming back.
- Improved Bioavailability: The soft gelatin capsules are formulated for better absorption, ensuring you get the full benefit of the medication.
- Full Course in One Pack: The "BY 24" pack contains all 24 capsules needed for a standard 3-day adult treatment course.
Dosage and Administration
For adults and children weighing over 35kg, the standard dosage is:
- 4 softgels taken twice daily (morning and evening) for 3 days.
- It is highly recommended to take each dose with a meal or a drink containing fat, such as milk, to help your body absorb the medicine properly.
- If you vomit within one hour of taking the medicine, you should repeat the dose.
Safety Information
While Amatem Soft Gel is a trusted antimalarial, it is important to use it correctly. Always complete the full 3-day course even if you feel better after the first few doses. If symptoms persist or if you have severe malaria (e.g., inability to eat, convulsions), please visit a hospital immediately. You can also contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance on your treatment.
