Product Description

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.

Indications

  • Treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum (chloroquine-sensitive or resistant strains) in adults.
  • Mixed infections with P. vivax (followed by hypnozoite eradication if needed).

Directions for Use

  • Route: Oral, swallow whole with water; do not chew/crush.
  • 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.

Product Features

  • Standard ACT fixed-dose combination (400mg artesunate + 500mg mefloquine).
  • Fast parasite clearance + long-lasting suppression; high cure rate, low recurrence.
  • Delays emergence of antimalarial drug resistance.
  • Convenient once-daily dosing for 3 days.
