Coartem 80/480mg is indeed a potent and widely used antimalarial medication, specifically formulated for treating acute, uncomplicated malaria infections caused by Plasmodium falciparum, the most dangerous and widespread malaria parasite. Each tablet contains two active ingredients:
- Artemether (80mg): A fast-acting antimalarial that rapidly reduces the number of malaria parasites in the bloodstream.
- Lumefantrine (480mg): A longer-acting agent that eliminates any remaining parasites and prevents recurrence.
This combination is highly effective in clearing the parasite from the bloodstream and is often used as a first-line treatment for malaria in many endemic regions. Coartem is typically administered as part of a 3-day course, taken with food for better absorption and optimal results.
