ALPHA BETA ARTEETHER INJ.
Alpha Beta Arteether Injection is a strong, quick-acting antimalarial medication used to treat severe and complicated malaria infections, as well as resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria. It is a synthetic substance developed from the naturally occurring part artemisinin, and is widely recognised by doctors and hospitals as an effective treatment for rapid parasite removal.
What Is Alpha Beta Arteether?
Arteether is a lipid-soluble artemisinin derivative manufactured as a sterile oil-based preparation for injection into muscle. Arteether is a mixture of the alpha and beta arteether isomers and so the product is often referred to as Alpha Beta Arteether. The standard pack size is 150 mg in 2 ml ampoule, and it is ideal for hospital and nursing home use.
How Does It Work?
Its action takes place when malaria parasites are in the blood. Arteether interacts with heme – a component of iron – and forms reactive free radicals that attack the cell walls and proteins of the parasite, rapidly reducing the level of parasites, and reducing the fever and other symptoms of malaria. The medicine can kill strains of parasites that are resistant to chloroquine or other antimalarial drugs.
Notable Features & Advantages
- Fast-acting: Speeds up the reduction of parasites in patients with severe malaria.
- Fights resistant strains: Has proven to be efficacious with chloroquine-resistant and multidrug-resistant P. falciparum infection.
- (IM) intramuscular: Usually used for patients who cannot swallow oral medicines due to vomiting, weakness or reduced consciousness.
- Long-acting oil-based formulation: Constant release after injection.
- Easy-to-use ampoule pack: Single-dose ampoules are user-friendly and provide sterile and safe dosage.
Indications
Alpha Beta Arteether Injection is known to be used in the treatment of severe and complicated malaria and when the oral therapy is inappropriate. Also, it is used when falciparum malaria is indicated with the suspicion or known resistance to the other antimalarial drug. Further, the treatment should be followed up with the suitable course of a partner antimalarial drug as instructed by the doctor to prevent a relapse.
