Product Information
General Information:
Artemether injection is an anti-malarial product manufactured and used for the treatment of drug-resistant strains of malaria p. falciparum and p. vivax. It can be used both on its own and in combination (often with lumefantrine) for the treatment of malaria in both adults and children.
Its active ingredient is artemether, which is a highly effective anti-malarial which has been shown to clear fever within 30-48 hours.
For injections, it comes as a solution, which should only be administered by your doctor or healthcare provider into a large muscle.

If any of the following occur then seek immediate medical attention: difficulty in breathing, hives, swelling of your face, lips, tongue or throat.
