Antimalarial

  • LUMEFANTRINE 120MG + ARTEMETHER 20MG

    Lumefantrine is an antimalarial agent used to treat acute uncomplicated malaria. It is administered in combination with artemether for improved efficacy. Lumefantrine is a blood schizonticide active against erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium.
    Artemether is an antimalarial agent used to treat acute uncomplicated malaria. It involves an interaction with ferriprotoporphyrin IX (�heme�), or ferrous ions, in the acidic parasite food vacuole, which results in the generation of cytotoxic radical species.

  • QUININE SULPHATE 300MG

    An alkaloid derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. It is used as an antimalarial drug. The drug interferes with the parasite�s ability to break down and digest hemoglobin. Consequently, the parasite starves and/or builds up toxic levels of partially degraded hemoglobin in itself.
