Amatem Forte is a combination medication used for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria infections, including those caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite, which can cause severe malaria if left untreated.

How Amatem Forte Works:

• Amatem Forte combines two active ingredients: Artemether and Lumefantrine.
• Artemether is a fast-acting artemisinin derivative that targets the early stages of the malaria parasite’s life cycle, effectively killing them.
• Lumefantrine eliminates the remaining parasites and helps prevent the recurrence of the infection.

Uses:

• Malaria Treatment: Amatem Forte is used to treat uncomplicated malaria infections caused by Plasmodium falciparum.

Directions for Use:

• The dosing regimen and duration of treatment will vary depending on factors such as age, weight, and the specific product used. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or on the medication packaging.
• Take the medication with food or a fatty meal to improve absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset.
• Complete the full course of treatment even if you start feeling better, as stopping treatment prematurely can lead to the recurrence of the infection.
• If you vomit within one hour of taking a dose, a repeat dose should be taken.
