Ab Mal Injection 150 Mg/2Ml (2Ml) Alpha-Beta Arteether 150 Mg By Alkem

Composition

Alpha-Beta Arteether 150 mg.

Uses

Alpha-Beta Arteether is an antimalarial medicine used for the treatment of severe or complicated malaria, particularly malaria caused by _Plasmodium falciparum_. It works rapidly to reduce the number of malaria parasites in the blood.

It is generally used under medical supervision, often when oral antimalarial treatment is not appropriate.

How to Use

The exact dose and duration depend on the patient's age, weight, severity of malaria, and formulation. Use only according to a doctor's prescription. Do not self-administer or change the dosing schedule.

For severe malaria, injectable treatment is typically followed by an appropriate complete oral antimalarial regimen once the patient can take medicines by mouth, as advised by the treating doctor.

Precautions & Warnings

Tell your doctor if you have:

- Liver or kidney problems
- Heart rhythm problems
- A history of low potassium or magnesium
- Any previous reaction to artemisinin-based medicines

Severe malaria itself is a medical emergency and may require hospitalisation and monitoring of blood glucose, kidney function, electrolytes, and other parameters.

Possible Side Effects

Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, dizziness, headache, weakness, and injection-site reactions.

Rare but serious problems can include changes in heart rhythm, allergic reactions, or abnormalities in blood counts or liver function. Seek urgent medical attention for fainting, severe palpitations, difficulty breathing, facial swelling, or severe weakness.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

If pregnant or breastfeeding, treatment should be supervised by a doctor. Severe malaria during pregnancy requires urgent medical treatment, and the benefits of appropriate antimalarial therapy generally outweigh the risks of leaving severe malaria untreated.

Storage

Store according to the manufacturer's instructions, generally in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.

Important Safety Information

Alpha-Beta Arteether should not be used as a routine medicine for uncomplicated malaria without medical advice. Completing the recommended follow-up oral antimalarial treatment is important to prevent treatment failure and recurrence.
