Lumifen Tablet 6 is used to treat acute, uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, including in areas where resistance to other antimalarial medicines is reported.

Here are some simple guidelines on how to take Lumifen Tablet 6:

• Swallow the whole tablet with a fat-containing drink, such as milk. This can help your body absorb the medicine better.
• Avoid crushing or chewing the tablet. This could affect how well the medicine works.
• Don't take more than your doctor has recommended. If you're unsure about how much to take, ask your doctor.
• Ensure you complete the full course of medication, even if you start to feel better before it's finished. This helps to fully clear the infection from your body.

Lumifen Tablet 6 is taken orally.

Lumifen Tablet 6 contains two active ingredients:

• Artemether (80 mg): Artemether acts swiftly and effectively to clear parasites from your blood. It targets a specific stage of the P. falciparum life cycle within red blood cells, which helps control the infection's spread.
• Lumefantrine (480 mg): Lumefantrine works at a different stage of the parasite's life cycle, eliminating residual parasites and preventing recurrence, ensuring that no remaining parasites can trigger a new round of infection.
• Together, these components work synergistically to inhibit the growth and reproduction of malarial parasites, managing the infection effectively.

• Store your Lumifen Tablet 6 in its original packaging at room temperature.
• Shield it from excessive heat and dampness.
• Always place it out of the reach and sight of children.
• Make sure you use this medicine before the expiry date marked on the pack.

• Wear insect repellent or long-sleeved clothing, especially at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
• Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, which can help your body recover faster from a malaria infection.
