Artesunate 60mg Injection
SKU GME1421Antiparasitic
Product Introduction
Artesunate 60mg is a rapidly acting antimalarial used for severe malaria. Injectable treatment is important when illness is life-threatening or oral medicines cannot be taken reliably.
How to use
The powder is freshly reconstituted and given intravenously or intramuscularly in a weight-based regimen. A complete oral antimalarial course follows once oral treatment is possible.
How it works
Artesunate forms reactive compounds inside malaria parasites, damaging parasite proteins and rapidly reducing the parasite burden in blood.
Side effects
Nausea, dizziness, vomiting and injection-site discomfort can occur. Delayed breakdown of red blood cells can appear after the acute infection improves.
Important information
Follow-up blood counts are needed after severe-malaria treatment because delayed haemolysis can occur several weeks later.
Uses
- Severe malaria, including severe Plasmodium falciparum infection.
Benefits
Rapidly reduces circulating parasites during the critical phase of severe malaria.
Is an oral course still needed after the injections?
Yes. A full follow-on oral regimen clears remaining parasites and reduces the chance of recurrence.
Why are later blood tests needed if the fever has settled?
Delayed haemolysis can lower haemoglobin after recovery from the initial infection.
Is the whole vial a standard dose for every patient?
No. Treatment is calculated by body weight and treatment stage. The vial strength describes the amount in its container, not a universal patient dose.
Does it replace treatment for malaria complications?
No. Low blood sugar, anaemia, kidney injury or altered consciousness may also require urgent supportive care.
