Martisonate 60 Mg (15X20) Artesunate (Sterile) I.P 60 Mg. By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Artesunate injection is used for the emergency treatment of severe malaria, especially when the patient cannot take medicines by mouth. It is given in a hospital or healthcare facility.

How does it work?
It rapidly kills malaria parasites in the blood, helping to reduce the severity of the infection.

How to take/use it
This medicine is given by injection by a doctor or trained healthcare professional. The dose and treatment schedule depend on the severity of malaria and must be decided by the treating doctor. Once the patient can take medicines by mouth, additional antimalarial treatment may be needed as advised.

Common side effects
Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, fever, injection-site reactions and temporary changes in blood tests may occur.

Precautions
Severe malaria is a medical emergency and requires hospital care. Do not self-administer this injection. Medical monitoring is important because delayed destruction of red blood cells (haemolysis), anaemia, allergic reactions or liver-related problems can occur after treatment. Seek urgent medical help for breathing difficulty, facial swelling, unusual weakness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine or worsening symptoms.
