What is Coartem 80/480mg Used For?
Coartem is a first-line Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) used to eliminate malaria parasites from the blood. It is highly effective for:

Acute Malaria Treatment: Rapidly clearing parasites in patients weighing 35kg or more.

Fever Reduction: Resolving malaria-induced fever within hours of the first few doses.

Symptom Relief: Alleviating the chills, body aches, and headaches associated with uncomplicated malaria.

Note: Coartem is for the treatment of malaria only. It should not be used for the prevention (prophylaxis) of malaria.

Key Benefits

Reduced Pill Burden: The 80/480mg strength allows for a 1-tablet dose instead of 4 smaller tablets, making it easier to complete the full course.

High Cure Rate: Artemether provides fast action against parasites, while Lumefantrine ensures long-lasting clearance to prevent relapse.

WHO Prequalified: Manufactured by Novartis, meeting the highest global standards for pharmaceutical quality and safety.

Adult-Specific Dosing: Formulated to deliver the exact therapeutic concentration needed for patients in the 35kg+ weight category.

Content & Active Ingredients
Every tablet of Coartem DS contains:

Artemether (80mg): An artemisinin derivative that acts rapidly to reduce the parasite biomass.

Lumefantrine (480mg): A long-acting antimalarial that eliminates remaining parasites and prevents recrudescence.

How to Administer (Dosage)
To ensure the malaria is completely cured, you must finish all 6 tablets even if you feel better after the first dose.

Standard Adult Dose (? 35kg): A total of 6 tablets over 3 days.
Schedule:

Day 1: 1 tablet immediately, followed by 1 tablet 8 hours later.

Day 2: 1 tablet in the morning, 1 tablet in the evening.

Administration Tip: Take each tablet with fatty food or milk. This is critical, as fat significantly increases the absorption of Lumefantrine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What if I vomit after taking the tablet? If vomiting occurs within 1 hour of taking a dose, you should repeat the dose. If vomiting persists, consult a pharmacist at Allschoolabs Pharmacy immediately.
Can I take Coartem if I am pregnant? Coartem is generally avoided during the first trimester unless specifically prescribed by a doctor. It is usually considered safe for the second and third trimesters. Please consult our pharmacist before use.
Should I take this even if my test is negative? No. It is a standard clinical practice to confirm malaria via an RDT (Rapid Diagnostic Test) or microscopy before starting treatment to prevent drug resistance.
