RIXOTHER DRY SYRUP
Artemether 40 mg + Lumefantrine 240 mg Dry Syrup is a fixed-dose antimalarial combination formulated for children.
Artemether: A fast-acting antimalarial that kills malaria parasites quickly by producing free radicals that damage parasite cells.
Lumefantrine: A long-acting antimalarial that prevents parasite multiplication and reduces relapse.
Together, they provide synergistic action for effective clearance of malaria parasites, including chloroquine-resistant strains.
This combination is primarily used for the treatment of:
Uncomplicated malaria, especially caused by Plasmodium falciparum (including drug-resistant strains)
Effective in regions where malaria resistance to traditional drugs (like chloroquine) is common
Helps in preventing recurrence due to Lumefantrine’s sustained effect
