Amatem Forte Soft Gel – 80/480mg, 6 Soft Gel Capsules
Amatem Forte Soft Gel active ingredients, Artemether and lumefantrine are anti-malaria medications that interfere with the growth of parasites in the red blood cells of the human body. Malaria is caused by parasites that enter the body through the bite of a mosquito.
Take Amatem Forte Soft Gel Capsules to help clear up your malaria infection quickly and efficiently. This prescription medicine is proven to work by blocking the synthesis of nucleic acid and proteins, which kills the parasitic organisms that cause malaria. It can be used in patients weighing 5 kg (11 lb) and above.
It is indicated for the treatment of adults and children with acute, uncomplicated infections due to Plasmodium falciparum or mixed infection including P. falciparum and strains from multi-drug resistant areas.
Amatem Forte Soft Gel Capsules is recommended for use as a standby emergency treatment for travelers to areas where the parasite is resistant to other drugs.
What is Amatem Forte Soft Gel used for?
Artemether-Lumefantrine is a powerful dual drug that can treat both acute and complicated malaria infections of adults, children and infants. It has been shown to be effective against the most dangerous type of plasmodium,which means it’s also recommended for those who have developed resistance towards other antimalarials in their area or if you want an even better chance at getting rid of those pesky parasites altogether!
Malaria is a terrible disease that can quickly lead to complications if left untreated. To help prevent the spread of malaria, travelers should carry an artemether-lumefantrine combination drug for self-administration in case they become sick with symptoms and are unable able get medical care within 24 hours after onset.
Symptoms of Malaria
Symptoms of malaria can develop as quickly as 7 days after you’re bitten by an infected mosquito.
Typically, the time between being infected and when symptoms start (incubation period) is 7 to 18 days, depending on the specific parasite you’re infected with. However, in some cases it can take up to a year for symptoms to develop.
The initial symptoms of malaria are flu-like and include:
- a high temperature of 38C or above
- feeling hot and shivery
- headaches
- vomiting
- muscle pains
- diarrhoea
- generally feeling unwell
These symptoms are often mild and can sometimes be difficult to identify as malaria.

Precaution
If a patient deteriorates whilst taking this combination, alternative treatment for malaria should be started without delay. The long elimination half-life of Lumefantrine must be taken into account when administering quinine in patients previously treated with this combination. This combination has not been evaluated for: prophylaxis; treatment of cerebral malaria; treatment of severe malaria including pulmonary oedema or renal failure; treatment of malaria due to P. vivax, P. malariae or P. ovale.
Interaction
Dose adjustment of this combination is considered unnecessary when administered in association with ketoconazole. The likelihood of interactions with other drugs is minimal in view of its short duration of administration and wide therapeutic index.
