Effective Malaria Treatment with Amatem Softgel 20/120mg
Amatem Softgel 20/120mg is a powerful antimalarial medication used to treat acute, uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. This specific 18-softgel pack is formulated for children and adolescents weighing between 25kg and less than 35kg.
Unlike standard tablets, Amatem comes in a soft gelatin capsule (softgel) form. This makes it easier for children to swallow and helps the body absorb the active ingredients—Artemether and Lumefantrine—more effectively for faster relief.
Active Ingredients
Each softgel contains:
- Artemether: 20 mg
- Lumefantrine: 120 mg
Why Choose Amatem Softgel?
- Fast Relief: Artemether provides rapid reduction of parasites, while Lumefantrine ensures the infection is cleared completely.
- Easier to Swallow: The smooth softgel form is preferred by many patients who find traditional tablets difficult to take.
- Proven Quality: Manufactured in WHO-GMP certified facilities and registered with NAFDAC (B4-0953).
How to Take Amatem Softgel
Amatem Softgel should be taken as part of a 3-day treatment course. For children weighing 25kg to 35kg, the typical dose is 3 softgels twice daily for three days.
It is best taken with a meal or a milky drink to improve the absorption of Lumefantrine. If you have questions about the dosage or how to administer this medicine to your child, please contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.
