USES OF LUMETHER 80 ORANGE FLAVOUR DISPERSIBLE TABLET
- Manage acute uncomplicated malarial infections (caused by plasmodium falciparum) in infants, children and adults
HOW LUMETHER 80 ORANGE FLAVOUR DISPERSIBLE TABLET WORKS
LUMETHER 80 ORANGE FLAVOUR DISPERSIBLE TABLET effectively manages malarial infections, where artemether
effectively kills the malarial parasites by binding to haem (part of
molecules that contains iron which is toxic to malarial parasites) which
is produced during the breakdown of haemoglobin. Lumefantrine works by
binding to hemin where it manages the formation of a toxic malarial
pigment called hemozoin, thereby it manages malarial infection. In
addition to this artemether and lumefantrine blocks nucleic acid and
protein synthesis in parasite that damages the parasitic cell membrane
of plasmodium falciparum which leads to the death of parasite. Thus, it
helps in managing the malarial infection.
