Lonart DS 80mg/480mg: Powerful Relief for Malaria

Lonart DS is a highly effective Double Strength (DS) antimalarial medication trusted across Nigeria for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. As an Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT), it provides a fast-acting, two-way attack to clear malaria parasites from your system.

How Lonart DS Works

Lonart DS combines two powerful active ingredients to ensure a complete recovery:

• Artemether (80mg): A fast-acting component that provides rapid relief by quickly reducing the parasite load in your blood.
• Lumefantrine (480mg): A long-acting ingredient that eliminates remaining parasites, preventing the malaria from returning.

Lonart DS Dosage for Adults

The "Double Strength" formulation means fewer tablets to take.

• Standard Dosage: Take one tablet twice daily (every 12 hours) for three days, making a total of 6 tablets.
• Pro-Tip: Always take Lonart DS with food or a fatty meal (like milk, eggs, or a meal with oil). This significantly improves how your body absorbs the medicine.
• Completion: Ensure you finish the full course of 6 tablets even if you feel better after the first dose.
