Larinate 120 MG Injection 15 ML contains artesunate (120 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Generates Toxic Free Radicals: Artesunate works by producing toxic free radicals within the malarial parasite. These radicals disrupt crucial cellular processes and eventually lead to the death of the parasite.

• Targets Erythrocytic Stages: Artesunate is particularly effective against the erythrocytic stages of the parasite's life cycle. This stage is when the parasite is inside your red blood cells, causing symptoms of malaria.

• Store Larinate 120 MG Injection 15 ML at controlled room temperature.

• Shield the product from light exposure.

• Keep it out of reach and sight of children.

• Make sure to use this medication before its expiry date.

• As Larinate 120 MG Injection 15 ML is used to manage malaria, try to avoid areas with high mosquito activity. Using mosquito repellents and insecticide-treated bed nets can help prevent bites.

• In malaria-prone areas, take precautions while travelling. Consult your doctor about possible chemoprophylaxis (preventive medicines) to reduce the risk of infection.
