DEPTHER® FORTE

Arteether is an antimalarial medication belonging to the artemisinin class of drugs, specifically a derivative of artemisinin called dihydroartemisinin. It is used primarily for the treatment of severe malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, particularly in cases where other antimalarial drugs may be ineffective due to resistance. Arteether is known for its rapid action against malaria parasites, helping to reduce parasite levels in the blood quickly and alleviate symptoms. This medication is typically administered by injection and is considered an essential component of malaria treatment protocols in regions where severe cases are prevalent. However, it’s important to use arteether under the guidance of a healthcare professional due to potential side effects and the need for proper dosage management.
