About Lumether 80 mg Orange Flavour DT Tablet

Lumether 80 mg Orange Flavour DT Tablet belongs to the class of 'anti-malarial drugs', primarily used to treat and prevent malaria. Malaria is a disease caused by a plasmodium parasite, transmitted by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. When an infected mosquito bites a healthy person, it transmits the 'Plasmodium parasite' into the bloodstream, which affects the red blood cells and liver cells. Malaria symptoms usually start in 10 days to 4 weeks after the infection. They include chills, high fever, profuse sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, anaemia, muscle pain, convulsions, coma and bloody stools.

Lumether 80 mg Orange Flavour DT Tablet contains two medicines, namely: Artemether and Lumefantrine. These are anti-malarial drugs that interfere with Plasmodium parasite's growth in the red blood cells of the human body. Lumether 80 mg Orange Flavour DT Tablet is a combination that is used to treat non-severe malaria caused by a parasite called 'Plasmodium falciparum,' other Plasmodium species. It works by inhibiting nucleic acid and protein synthesis in Plasmodium falciparum. Artemether is known to reduce parasite biomass and Lumefantrine eliminates residual parasites.
