ARTEFAN 20/120 TABS 24`S

Artefan 20/120 Tablets are a combination medication primarily used for the treatment of malaria, particularly in areas where resistance to other antimalarial drugs is prevalent. The active ingredients in Artefan are artemether and lumefantrine, which work synergistically to target the malaria parasite in the bloodstream.

Artemether is a fast-acting artemisinin derivative that quickly reduces the number of parasites, while lumefantrine has a longer half-life that helps to eliminate remaining parasites and prevent relapse.

This combination is effective against Plasmodium falciparum, the most dangerous malaria parasite, and is often prescribed for uncomplicated malaria cases. Artefan is typically taken over a course of three days, with doses taken at specific intervals to ensure maximum efficacy. It is important for patients to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the development of drug resistance.
