Effective Malaria Treatment with Amatem Soft Gel
Amatem Soft Gel 20/120 is a high-quality Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) used to treat acute, uncomplicated malaria. Often referred to by users as Amatem Forte, this medication contains two active ingredients: Artemether (20mg) and Lumefantrine (120mg). This combination is highly effective at killing malaria parasites quickly, helping you recover from fever and body aches faster.
In Nigeria, the softgel form is highly popular because it is easier to swallow and designed for better absorption than standard tablets.
Benefits of Amatem Soft Gel
- Rapid Action: Formulated to quickly reduce the number of parasites in the blood.
- Complete Clearance: The long-acting lumefantrine ensures that all parasites are cleared to prevent the malaria from returning.
- Better Bioavailability: The liquid-filled softgel ensures the medicine is absorbed effectively by your body.
Amatem Soft Gel Dosage for Adults
For adults and children weighing 35kg and above, the full treatment course is 24 capsules over 3 days:
- Dose: Take 4 softgels twice daily (morning and evening) for 3 days.
- Absorption Tip: It is best to take your dose with a fatty meal or a glass of milk. This helps your body absorb the medicine properly.
- If you vomit within one hour of taking your dose, you should take another one.
Important Safety Information
Always complete the full 3-day course, even if you feel better after the first day. This is crucial to prevent drug resistance.
