Camosunate Paediatrics Powder – Effective Malaria Treatment for Infants (0-11 Months)

Camosunate Paediatrics Powder is a trusted Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) specifically formulated to treat uncomplicated malaria in infants. This fast-acting medication combines Artesunate (25mg) and Amodiaquine (75mg) to provide a comprehensive solution for clearing malaria parasites.

Designed for babies between 0 and 11 months, this vanilla-flavored powder is an ideal alternative for little ones who cannot swallow tablets. It follows the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for effective malaria management in Nigeria.

How to Mix Camosunate Powder for Babies

Correct preparation is essential to ensure your child receives the full dose:

1. Prepare Water: Use clean, room-temperature water.
2. Mix: Pour the contents of one sachet into a small cup. Add about 5ml to 10ml (roughly 1-2 teaspoons) of water.
3. Stir: Stir until the powder forms a smooth suspension.
4. Administer: Give the mixture to your baby immediately. Ensure they finish the entire amount.

Dosage and Treatment Duration

For the best results and to prevent the return of malaria, follow the 3-day regimen strictly:

• Infant Dosage (0-11 Months): Give one sachet once daily for three (3) consecutive days.
• Consistency: Even if your baby feels better after the first or second day, you must complete the full 3-day course.

Important Safety Information & Side Effects

While Camosunate is generally well-tolerated, some infants may experience mild side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite. If you notice any severe reactions or if your baby's condition does not improve, contact a healthcare professional or speak with a GoMed pharmacist immediately.

Note: Dosage is often weight-dependent. If your infant is under 5kg or has existing health conditions, please consult your doctor before use.
