Artemether and Lumefantrine work by interfering with the conversion of haem, a toxic intermediate produced during haemoglobin breakdown, to the non-toxic haemozoin (malaria pigment). Lumefantrine is thought to interfere with the polymerisation process, while Artemether generates reactive metabolites as a result of the interaction between its peroxide bridge and haem iron. Both Artemether and Lumefantrine have a secondary action involving inhibition of nucleic acid and protein synthesis within the malarial parasite.
Lonart DS is also recommended as a standby emergency treatment for travelers to areas where the parasite is resistant to other drugs. It is used in patients weighing 5 kg (11 lb) and above.
Please note that Lonart DS is a prescription medicine and should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
