Malaria medicine

Artesunate for Injection is an antimalarial indicated for the initial treatment of severe malaria in adult and pediatric patients. 

Artesunate is used in the treatment of malaria. It is not used to prevent malaria or to treat severe malaria (where it has affected the brain, lungs or kidneys). Artesunate is an antiparasitic medication. It works by producing harmful chemicals (free radicals) within the malarial parasite, thereby killing it.

Artesunate 50 mg tablets is used for the treatment of uncomplicated cases of malaria. Artesunate 50 mg tablets is indicated only for attacks due to Plasmodium falciparum (a particular type of malaria parasite), against which the medicine is active. It reduces the number of malaria parasites in your body.
