Product Details

Coartem is an anti-malaria medication that is used to treat non-severe malaria in adults and children. Coartem is used only to treat malaria, not to prevent it. The two chemicals Artemether and Lumefantrine belong to the class of drugs known as antimalarials. This medication works by interfering with the growth of parasites in the red blood cells of the human body. Some patients may need to take a different medication such as Primaquine to kill the malaria parasites living in the liver. Both of these treatments may be need to completely cure and avoid a relapse of the infection. Coartem works best when the amount of medication in your body is kept at a constant level. The common side effects of Coartem includes chills, dizziness, headache, insomnia, loss of appetite, muscle or joint pain, nausea, tiredness and weakness. Contact your doctor immediately if you have any of the following rare but serious side effects such as:

• Chest pain;
• Fainting;
• Fast or irregular or pounding heartbeat;
• Severe dizziness

Take this medication as prescribed by your doctor. Coartem tablets are available in the strength of 20 mg/120 mg tablets only.
