Artequick Antimalarial Tablets (4 Tablets)
Artequick is a powerful Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) used for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated malaria. In Nigeria, it is widely trusted for its ability to rapidly clear malaria parasites from the blood.
How Artequick Works
This medication combines Artemisinin (62.5mg) and Piperaquine Phosphate (375mg). While Artemisinin acts quickly to reduce the parasite load, Piperaquine provides long-lasting protection to ensure the infection is fully eliminated and to help prevent early recurrence.
Artequick Dosage for Adults
The standard adult pack of Artequick contains 4 tablets. To ensure effective treatment of uncomplicated malaria, the recommended 2-day regimen is:
- Day 1: Take 2 tablets as a single dose.
- Day 2: Take the remaining 2 tablets exactly 24 hours after the first dose.
It is best to take the tablets with water. Taking them with a meal can help improve absorption. Always complete the full 4-tablet course even if you start feeling better after the first dose.
Side Effects
Most people tolerate Artequick well, but some may experience:
- Dizziness or headache
- Nausea or vomiting
- Sleep disturbances
- Temporary loss of appetite
If you experience an irregular heartbeat or severe allergic reactions, seek medical attention immediately.

- Pregnancy: Artequick is generally avoided during the first trimester. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a GoMed pharmacist before use.
