Coartem Tablets 20/120mg X24 - Effective Malaria Treatment
Overview
Coartem Tablets 20/120mg are a highly effective antimalarial medication used to treat acute, uncomplicated malaria infections caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Each pack contains 24 tablets, combining two active ingredients: artemether (20mg) and lumefantrine (120mg). This combination is recognized by the WHO as the gold standard for malaria treatment (Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy - ACT).
Active Ingredients
- Artemether (20mg): A fast-acting antimalarial agent that quickly reduces the parasite load in the blood.
- Lumefantrine (120mg): A longer-acting partner drug that eliminates remaining parasites and prevents the infection from returning.
Key Benefits
- Rapid Symptom Relief: Quickly targets malaria parasites to reduce fever, chills, and body aches.
- High Cure Rate: Proven effective even in regions with resistance to older antimalarials like chloroquine.
- Convenient Full Course: The 24-tablet pack provides the complete 3-day treatment course for adults.
