CompositionLumet 80 Tablet is used to treat acute, uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, including infections in areas where resistance to older antimalarial medicines is common. It helps clear the malaria parasite from the blood and relieves associated fever, chills and body weakness.
It contains artemether and lumefantrine, two antimalarial medicines that work together to clear susceptible malaria parasites. This medicine is an antimalarial combination and works against the parasite responsible for the infection. Take it with food as prescribed by your doctor, as this helps the body absorb it properly, and complete the full course of treatment even if you begin to feel better, to help prevent the infection from returning.
Getting adequate rest and drinking plenty of fluids can support your recovery while being treated for malaria. Using mosquito nets and insect repellents helps reduce the risk of reinfection, particularly if you live in or are travelling to a malaria-prone area.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have liver problems, are pregnant, or are taking other medicines, as some combinations can affect how this medicine works. Seek prompt medical attention if fever persists beyond a few days of treatment or if your symptoms worsen.
