Product Details

Artesunate Injection (Johnlee Pharma) is an antimalarial medication used in the emergency treatment of severe malaria, particularly caused by the Plasmodium falciparum strain, which is known to be resistant to other antimalarial drugs. Artesunate is a water-soluble derivative of artemisinin and works by rapidly killing the malaria parasites in the blood, thus reducing the parasite load and improving symptoms. It is administered via injection, making it ideal for treating severe cases or in situations where oral medications are not feasible. Artesunate is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for managing complicated malaria in both adults and children.
