Effective Malaria Treatment for Children: Amatem Softgel 20/120mg
Amatem Softgel is a highly effective Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) used for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated malaria. This 18-softgel pack is specifically designed for children and adolescents weighing between 25kg and less than 35kg.
Containing a fixed dose of Artemether (20mg) and Lumefantrine (120mg), it works by rapidly clearing malaria parasites from the blood, providing fast relief from symptoms like fever, chills, and body aches.
Why Choose Amatem Softgel?
- Easier to Swallow: The soft gelatin capsule (softgel) form is much easier for children to take compared to traditional bitter tablets.
- Improved Absorption: The softgel formulation helps the body absorb the active ingredients more efficiently.
- NAFDAC Approved: Amatem is a trusted brand in Nigeria, registered with NAFDAC (Reg. No. B4-0953) and manufactured under strict quality standards.
How to Use Amatem Softgel
For children weighing between 25kg and 35kg, the standard course is 3 softgels taken twice daily for 3 days.
To ensure the medicine works effectively, it is best to take Amatem Softgel with a meal or a milky drink. This helps the body absorb the Lumefantrine component. If your child vomits within one hour of taking the dose, repeat the dose and contact a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor for advice.
Important Safety Information
- Complete the full 3-day course even if the child feels better sooner.
- Do not use if the child has a known allergy to Artemether or Lumefantrine.
- Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C.
