ARTEFAN 40/240 TABLETS 6’S

Artefan 40/240 Tablets are a combination medication primarily used for the treatment of malaria, particularly in cases caused by Plasmodium falciparum. The active ingredients in Artefan are artemether and lumefantrine, which work synergistically to combat the malaria parasite.

Artemether is an artemisinin derivative that acts quickly to reduce the number of parasites in the bloodstream, while lumefantrine has a longer half-life that helps to eliminate any remaining parasites and prevent relapse.

This combination is effective in treating uncomplicated malaria in both adults and children. Artefan is typically administered over a three-day course, with doses taken at specific intervals to ensure maximum efficacy. In addition to treating malaria, the drug may also be used in some cases for prophylaxis in high-risk areas, although its primary indication remains the treatment of active malaria infections.
