Combither Forte Tablet (Artemether 80mg / Lumefantrine 480mg)

COMBITHER FORTE TABLET belongs to the class of ‘anti-malarial drugs’, primarily used to treat and prevent malaria. Malaria is a disease caused by a plasmodium parasite, transmitted by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. When an infected mosquito bites a healthy person, it transmits the ‘Plasmodium parasite’ into the bloodstream, which affects the red blood cells and liver cells. Malaria symptoms usually start in 10 days to 4 weeks after the infection. They include chills, high fever, profuse sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, anaemia, muscle pain, convulsions, coma and bloody stools.

COMBITHER FORTE TABLET contains two medicines, namely: Artemether and Lumefantrine. These are anti-malarial drugs that interfere with Plasmodium parasite’s growth in the red blood cells of the human body. COMBITHER FORTE TABLET is a combination that is used to treat non-severe malaria caused by a parasite called ‘Plasmodium falciparum,’ other Plasmodium species. It works by inhibiting nucleic acid and protein synthesis in Plasmodium falciparum. Artemether is known to reduce parasite biomass and Lumefantrine eliminates residual parasites.

COMBITHER FORTE TABLET is available in oral tablet formulation. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on your medical condition. Common side effects of COMBITHER FORTE TABLET include headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, weakness, fever, chills, tiredness, muscle/joint pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, cough and trouble sleeping. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Before using COMBITHER FORTE TABLET, inform your doctor if you recently used any prescription and non-prescription medications, including other anti-malarial or antibiotic drugs. Let your doctor know if you are allergic to COMBITHER FORTE TABLET or its components. Inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems, severe heart diseases and electrolyte imbalance. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or a breastfeeding mother. Avoiding alcohol is recommended to rule out any possibility of side effects.
