Artecan 120 mg Injection

Artesunate is an antimalarial medication used in the treatment of severe malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, a parasite transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes.

Artesunate is indicated for the treatment of severe malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, including cerebral malaria and other life-threatening complications.

Artesunate belongs to the artemisinin class of antimalarial drugs, which are derived from the sweet wormwood plant (Artemisia annua). It works by selectively inhibiting the parasite’s enzyme system and damaging its cell membranes, leading to the death of the malaria parasite.
