Introduction to Lumewel
Lumewel (Artemether & Lumefantrine Suspension 30ml) is a WHO-recommended artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. It offers a dual-action approach—rapid parasite clearance with Artemether and sustained parasite elimination with Lumefantrine. This combination ensures high efficacy and prevents drug resistance. Lumewel is particularly suitable for children and adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets, providing an effective and convenient oral suspension.
