Artesun 120mg Injection (Artesunate) ? Fast-Acting Severe Malaria Treatment
Artesun 120mg Injection is the gold-standard treatment for severe malaria and complicated malaria cases. Containing 120mg of Artesunate, it is the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended first-line treatment to rapidly clear malaria parasites from the blood.
Why Artesun 120mg is Used
When malaria becomes severe, or when a patient is unable to take oral medications (due to vomiting or unconsciousness), injectable Artesunate is used for fast relief. It is often considered the best malaria injection in Nigeria for emergency hospital care because it works much faster than older treatments like Quinine.
How it Works
Artesun works by quickly reducing the parasite load in the body. It is administered through:

Intravenous (IV) injection: Directly into the vein.
Intramuscular (IM) injection: Into the muscle.

Important Note: This is a hospital-use medication. After the patient is stable and can swallow, they must complete a full 3-day course of an oral Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) to ensure the malaria is completely cleared.
Is it safe for Pregnant Women?
Yes. According to Nigerian national guidelines and the WHO, Artesun injection is recommended for the treatment of severe malaria in all trimesters of pregnancy. Saving the mother's life is the priority in severe malaria cases.
Professional Administration
This medicine must only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Do not attempt to self-inject. If you have questions about your prescription, you can speak with a Meddylab pharmacist for guidance.
