What it is used for: Malaria.

Indications as listed by the manufacturer: It is an anti-malarial drug. It is indicated for the treatment of all kinds of malarias , including the chloroquine-resistant malaria and the first aid of fatal malarias.

How it works: Artemether is active against all Plasmodia including those which may be resistant to other antimalarials. Artemether has very rapid schizontocidal activity. The schizontocidal activity of artemether is mainly due to destruction of the asexual erythrocytic forms of P.falciparum and P.vivax . There is inhibition of protein synthesis during growth of trophozoites. There is no cross resistance with chloroquine. It is not hypnozoiticidal but it reduces gamestocyte carriage. There is no rationale at present for using artemether for chemoprophylaxis.

Active ingredient: Artemether.

Reported side effects: Nausea , abdominal pain , diarrhoea , oral therapy only , dizziness , injection site pain , skin reactions and fever , hypotension , tinnitus , dark urine , sweating , somnolence and jaundice .

Known drug interactions: Antioxidant drugs e.g. vitamin E,C . Additive effect seen with chloroquine. Antagonistic effect seen with pyrimethamine and sulphonamides.
