Amatem Softgel Forte 80/480mg

Amatem Softgel Forte is a fixed-dose combination therapy used for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated malaria infections caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Each softgel capsule contains 80mg of Artemether and 480mg of Lumefantrine, making it a high-strength (Forte) option for effective malaria clearance.

How it Works

The combination of Artemether and Lumefantrine works by attacking the malaria parasites within the red blood cells. Artemether provides rapid relief from symptoms by quickly reducing the parasite load, while Lumefantrine acts more slowly to clear the remaining parasites and prevent a relapse of the infection.

Why Softgel Form?

Amatem Softgel Forte is formulated as a soft gelatin capsule. This delivery method is designed to enhance the bioavailability and absorption of the active ingredients compared to traditional tablets. For the best results, it is recommended to take the capsules with fatty food or milk, as this significantly improves the absorption of Lumefantrine.

Treatment Regimen

This pack contains 6 capsules, which is the standard 3-day treatment course for adults and children weighing 35kg and above. It is important to complete the full course even if you start feeling better after the first few doses to ensure the malaria is completely cleared from your system.

Consult a Pharmacist

Before starting any malaria treatment, it is advisable to confirm your diagnosis with a malaria test (RDT or microscopy). If you have questions about side effects or how to use this medicine, you can speak with a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.
