How It Works

The dual-action mechanism combines artemether’s rapid parasite clearance with lumefantrine’s extended antimalarial activity. Artemether quickly reduces parasite load within hours, while lumefantrine maintains therapeutic levels to prevent reinfection and ensure complete parasite elimination.

Duration of Action

Initial parasite clearance begins within 24-48 hours. The complete therapeutic effect is achieved over a 3-day treatment course, with protection against recurrence extending up to 4 weeks post-treatment.
