CAMOQUIN PLUS SUSP 60ML

CAMOQUIN PLUS SUSP 60ML is used to treat malaria, a serious disease spread by mosquito bites. If you’ve been feeling feverish, tired and are experiencing chills, especially after traveling to a malaria-prone area, CAMOQUIN PLUS might be what your doctor recommends. This medicine is often given to children and adults who can’t take tablets easily, as it’s a liquid suspension that’s easy to swallow.

Uses of CAMOQUIN PLUS SUSP 60ML

CAMOQUIN PLUS is mainly used for treating uncomplicated malaria caused by the Plasmodium parasite, especially the Plasmodium falciparum type, which is known to be more resistant and dangerous. It doesn’t prevent malaria, but it helps clear it from your system quickly and effectively when diagnosed early.

CAMOQUIN PLUS SUSP 60ML Ingredients

The two main active ingredients in CAMOQUIN PLUS SUSP are:

Amodiaquine: An antimalarial drug that kills the malaria parasite inside your red blood cells.
Artesunate: Another antimalarial that works fast to reduce the number of parasites in your body.

These two work well together, forming what’s known as an artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), which is now the standard treatment for malaria in many countries.

How CAMOQUIN PLUS Works

This medication works by attacking the malaria parasites in two ways. Artesunate acts quickly to lower the number of parasites in the blood during the early stage of the infection. Amodiaquine is a follow-up to clear the remaining parasites and prevent them from coming back. This dual action ensures that the infection is treated completely and lowers the chance of resistance.

CAMOQUIN PLUS Dosage

The dosage of CAMOQUIN PLUS depends on your body weight and age. It is usually given once daily for three days. Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the correct dose, so it’s important to follow their instructions carefully. Shake the bottle well before use, and always measure the medicine with the special spoon or cup provided to make sure you’re getting the right amount.

How Fast Does It Work?

Most people begin to feel better within 24 to 48 hours after starting the treatment. However, you must complete the full three-day course even if you feel fine. Stopping early can lead to the infection coming back or getting worse.

CAMOQUIN PLUS Side Effects

Like all medicines, CAMOQUIN PLUS can have side effects. The most common ones include:

Nausea or vomiting
Stomach pain
Headache
Dizziness
Tiredness

These side effects usually go away on their own, but if they become severe or don’t stop, you should see a doctor right away.

Can I take CAMOQUIN PLUS without a prescription?

No, this is a prescription medicine.

Is CAMOQUIN PLUS safe for children?

Yes, it is often used in children, but the dose must be adjusted by a healthcare provider based on the child’s weight.

Can I take this medicine if I’m pregnant?

Only under medical supervision. It’s important to discuss with your doctor if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can I use CAMOQUIN PLUS for any fever?

No, it is specifically for malaria. Fever can be caused by many things, so always get tested before taking malaria treatment. CAMOQUIN PLUS SUSP 60ML is a reliable and effective treatment for malaria. Always use it as directed, and never self-medicate without proper diagnosis and advice from a healthcare provider.
