ARTEMETHER (A)/ LUMEFANTRINE (L)

Therapeutic Action

Fixed-dose combination (FDC) of two antimalarials

Indications

Treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria

Completion treatment following parenteral therapy for severe malaria

Instructions for use

Blister presentation for 3-days treatment.

5 different presentations for 4 categories of weight:

  • infants 5-14kg: blister of 6 disp. tab
  • children 15-2 kg: blister of 12 disp. tab.
  • adolescents 25-34 kg: blister of 18 tab.
  • adults > 35 kg: blister of 24 tab. (20/120 mg) or blister of 6 tab (80/480mg).

Presentations must be ordered for all 4 weight categories.

In adults, the 80/480 mg formulation allows for better compliance as the number of tablets to be taken is less than with the 20/120 mg formulation (1 tab 2x/day instead of 4 tabs 2x/day).

The quantity to be ordered is calculated per blister (= one treatment), not per tablet.

Storage

  • Below 25°C
  • Shelf life: 24 or 36 months depending on the manufacturer
