Product Description
This is a WHO-recommended artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT).
- Artesunate: Fast-acting artemisinin derivative; rapidly reduces parasitemia and relieves acute symptoms.
- Mefloquine: Long-acting 4-aminoquinoline; eliminates residual parasites, prevents relapse, and delays resistance. The 400/500mg strength is for adult use; paediatric strengths (e.g., 25/50mg, 100/200mg) are available.

Directions for Use

- Typical adult dose: 1 tablet once daily for 3 consecutive days (total 3 tablets).
- Take with meals to improve tolerance; complete full course even if symptoms resolve.
