LOKMAL QS-COMBI (ARTEMETHER/LUMEFANTRINE + PARACETAMOL)

Lokmal QS-Combi (Artemether/Lumefantrine + Paracetamol)

Lokmal QS-Combi is a prescription-only combination therapy kit designed for the rapid and effective treatment of acute, uncomplicated malaria. It combines standard antimalarial agents with an analgesic to address both the underlying infection and its associated symptoms.

Key Components & Strength

The kit contains a specialized fixed-dose combination of three active ingredients:

• Artemether (80 mg): A fast-acting artemisinin derivative that rapidly clears parasites from the blood.

• Lumefantrine (480 mg): A synthetic antimalarial that provides a longer-lasting effect to prevent the return of the infection.

• Paracetamol (500 mg): Included to alleviate malaria-related symptoms such as fever, headache, and body aches.

Administration & Safety

• Usage: Must be taken with food or a milky drink to ensure proper absorption of the antimalarial agents.

• Dosage: A full course typically lasts 3 days; it is critical to complete the entire 60-hour schedule even if you begin to feel better.

• Contraindications: Not recommended for individuals with severe heart rhythm problems, extremely low potassium or magnesium levels, or those with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.

• Side Effects: Common side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, headache, abdominal pain, or loss of appetite.
