ARTISUNATE 60MG INJECTION

Description

Artesunate 60mg Injection is classified among ‘anti-malarial drugs’ and is mainly utilized for the treatment of malaria. Malaria is an illness triggered by a plasmodium parasite, which is transmitted through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. When a healthy individual is bitten by an infected mosquito, the ‘Plasmodium parasite’ gets introduced into the bloodstream, affecting both the red blood cells and the liver. Symptoms of malaria generally emerge within 10 days to 4 weeks following the infection. They include chills, high fever, excessive sweating, headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, anaemia, muscle aches, convulsions, coma, and the presence of blood in stools.

How Does Artesunate 60mg Injection Work?

Artesunate 60mg Injection contains the active ingredient ‘Artesunate.’ This injection serves as an antimalarial medication that disrupts the growth of the plasmodium parasite within the red blood cells of the human body. Artesunate 60mg Injection is specifically utilized to treat malaria caused by the ‘Plasmodium falciparum’ species, along with other plasmodium types. It functions by generating toxic chemicals inside the malarial parasite, leading to the destruction of the parasites.

Direction To Use and Its Side Effects

Artesunate 60mg Injection will be given by a healthcare professional; self-administration is not advised. You might encounter side effects such as dizziness, headaches, weakness, and a decrease in appetite (not feeling hungry). Most of these side effects from Artesunate 60mg Injection typically do not need medical intervention and tend to resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects continue or worsen, it is important to consult your doctor.
