AMALAR TAB

What is AMALAR TAB Used For?

AMALAR TAB is primarily used to:

Treat malaria: It is effective against uncomplicated cases of malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax.
Prevent malaria: AMALAR TAB is often used as a prophylactic treatment in regions where malaria is endemic.

Amalar Key Ingredients

AMALAR TAB contains active ingredients known for their antimalarial properties:

Artemether: A fast-acting compound that kills malaria parasites at the blood stage.
Lumefantrine: A slow-acting partner that prevents parasite recurrence by killing residual parasites.

Together, these ingredients form a potent combination therapy, reducing the likelihood of drug resistance.

How AMALAR TAB Works in the Body

AMALAR TAB operates by targeting malaria parasites during their blood stage.

Artemether disrupts the parasite’s metabolism by generating free radicals, effectively killing them within a short period.

Lumefantrine complements this action by targeting and eliminating any remaining parasites, ensuring a complete cure and reducing the chances of relapse.

This dual mechanism makes AMALAR TAB a robust choice in malaria treatment and prevention.
