About MATCH AR INJECTION

MATCH AR INJECTION belongs to the class of 'anti-malarial drugs', primarily used to treat 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 10 days to 4 weeks after the infection. They include chills, high fever, profuse sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, anemia, muscle pain, convulsions, coma, and bloody stools.

MATCH AR INJECTION contains ‘Artesunate’. This MATCH AR INJECTION is antimalarial medicine that interferes with the plasmodium parasite's growth in the red blood cells of the human body. MATCH AR INJECTION is used to treat malaria caused by a parasite called 'Plasmodium falciparum,' another plasmodium species.  It works by forming harmful chemicals within the malarial parasite, therefore killing the parasites.
