About Arh Plus Kit
Arh Plus Kit belongs to a group of anti-malarial drugs used to treat uncomplicated falciparum malaria. Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by the female anopheles mosquito. Malaria is transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes, which carry the Plasmodium parasite. The symptoms usually develop within 10 days to 4 weeks after the infection.
Arh Plus Kit is a combination medicine that contains Artesunate, Pyrimethamine, and Sulphadoxine. Artesunate generates free radicals, thereby inhibiting nucleic acid and protein synthesis of the Plasmodium parasites during erythrocytic stages. Pyrimethamine binds to haem and forms a complex which is toxic to the malarial parasite. Sulphadoxine prevents the parasite from producing folinic acid, which is necessary for their multiplication. Together, Arh Plus Kit helps in treating malaria.
Take Arh Plus Kit with food. It is advised to take Arh Plus Kit for as long as your doctor has prescribed, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Arh Plus Kit may cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, abdominal pain, headache, diarrhoea, and fatigue. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult your doctor before taking Arh Plus Kit if you are pregnant. Avoid breastfeeding while taking Arh Plus Kit. Arh Plus Kit may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Arh Plus Kit should be given to children only if prescribed by the doctor. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Arh Plus Kit as it could lead to increased dizziness. Keep your doctor informed about the medicines you take and your health condition to rule out any side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Malaria: Malaria is a blood disease spread by the female anopheles mosquito. Malaria is spread through the bite of an infected mosquito carrying the Plasmodium parasite. The parasite is released into the bloodstream when an infected mosquito bites a person. The parasite develops in the liver before infecting red blood cells. It then multiplies in red blood cells, resulting in malarial infection. Malaria symptoms include fever, headache, exhaustion, muscle pain, back pain, chills, sweating, nausea, vomiting, and a dry cough. Symptoms typically appear 10 days to 4 weeks after infection.
