Coartem 80/480 is an antimalarial medication that contains two active ingredients, artemether and lumefantrine. It is used for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria infections, particularly those caused by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.

How Coartem 80/480 (Artemether + Lumefantrine) Works:

• Artemether: Artemether is an artemisinin derivative that rapidly reduces the parasite load in the body, particularly in the early stages of malaria infection.
• Lumefantrine: Lumefantrine is another antimalarial medication that works in conjunction with artemether to eliminate the remaining parasites and prevent the recurrence of the infection.
