Coartem

Coartem is a medication used to treat malaria, a serious disease caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. It contains two active ingredients—artemether and lumefantrine—that work together to kill the malaria parasites in the blood. Coartem is usually taken as a series of scheduled doses over a few days and is effective in quickly reducing symptoms like fever and fatigue. It is important to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully cleared and to prevent the parasites from developing resistance.
