COARTEM Dispersible 20mg/120mg Tablets – Pack of 24
COARTEM Dispersible 20mg/120mg is a pediatric antimalarial medication used for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Each tablet contains 20mg of Artemether and 120mg of Lumefantrine, a well-established combination therapy designed to rapidly and effectively clear malaria parasites from the bloodstream.
This formulation is specially developed for children, featuring dispersible tablets that dissolve easily in water, making administration easier for young patients. Artemether works quickly to reduce the number of malaria parasites, while Lumefantrine helps prevent the recurrence of infection by eliminating the remaining parasites.
COARTEM is typically administered in a six-dose regimen over three days, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Prompt and complete dosing is essential for successful treatment. The medication is well tolerated, but mild side effects such as headache, dizziness, or gastrointestinal discomfort may occur in some cases.
It is important not to use COARTEM for prevention or to treat severe malaria. Patients should always complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve earlier.
Use under medical supervision is essential, particularly in regions with confirmed or suspected malaria. Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.
