* ARTEMETHER/LUMEFANTRINE
Coartem Drug Information
Coartem is an anti-malarial drug. It is a combination drug. It has two components, artemether and lumefantrine. The former is derived from artemisinin. The later is a benflumentol. The drug is used for the treatment of acute malaria (which is uncomplicated). The drug is effective in treating malarial infection that is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. This generic drug is recommended for patients with body weight of 5 kg and above. Artemether component of the drug acts by metabolizing to form DHA (dihydroartemisinin). However, the exact mode of action for lumefantrine is not clear. With a prescription from a doctor, Coartem can be ordered from North Meds.
