ARTEFAN SUSP 180MG/1080MG 60ML

Artefan Suspension is a combination medication primarily used for the treatment of malaria, particularly in areas where Plasmodium falciparum is prevalent. It contains artemether and lumefantrine as its active ingredients. Artemether is an artemisinin derivative that acts quickly to reduce the number of parasites in the blood, while lumefantrine works to eliminate the remaining parasites and prevent relapse.

This suspension is particularly useful for treating uncomplicated malaria in children and adults, providing a convenient oral dosage form. It is often prescribed when patients cannot take tablets or when a liquid formulation is preferred. Artefan is typically administered over a three-day course, with doses taken at specific intervals to ensure maximum efficacy. In addition to treating malaria, it may also be used in some cases for prophylaxis in high-risk areas, although its primary indication remains the treatment of active malaria infections.
