Artemether-Lumefantrine

Artemether-Lumefantrine is a combination medication used to treat malaria, a disease caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. Artemether quickly acts to kill malaria parasites in the blood, providing fast relief, while Lumefantrine works more slowly to eliminate remaining parasites and prevent the infection from returning. Using both together improves effectiveness and reduces the risk of drug resistance. This medication is usually taken orally in several doses over a few days and is an important tool in controlling and treating malaria, especially in regions where the disease is common.
