2. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES:
Pharmacodynamics:
Both components of ARTEMETHER + LUMEFANTRINE tablets have their own action site in the malarial parasite. The presence of the endoperioxide bridge is Artemether(generating singlet oxygen and free radicals: those are very cytotoxic to the plasmodia). It appears to be essential for antimalarial activity. Morphological changes of the parasitic membranes induced by Artemether have been described, being the result of free-radical action.
Lumefantrine interferes more in the polymerization processes. Other in-vitro tests suggest that both cause a marked diminution of nucleic acid synthesis. Inhibition of protein synthesis as the basic mechanism of action is suggested in the studies which showed morphological changes in ribosomes as well as in the endoplasmic reticulum, although Artemether acts essentially as a blood schizonticide,
ARTEMETHER + LUMEFANTRINE Tablets did clear gametocytes incomparative clinical trials.

Pharmacokinetics:
Orally administered Artemether is rapidly absorbed reaching therapeutic levels within 60-90 minutes. Artemether is metabolized in the liver to the
demethylated derivate dihydroartemisinin (DHA). The elimination is rapid, witha T 1/2 of 2-4 hours. Dihydroartemisinin, being a potent antimalarial itself, hasa T 1/2 of 2-4 hours. The degree of binding to plasma proteins varies markedly according to the species studied. The binding of Artemether with plasma protein in man is about 50%.
Radioactivity distribution of Artemether was found to be equal between cells and plasma. The absorption of Lumefantrine is highly influenced by lipids and food intake (from 10% by fasting to 100% at normal diet). Therefore patients should be encouraged to take the medication with some fatty food as soon as it can be tolerated.
Lumefantrine is N-debutylated in human liver microsomes . This metabolite has 5 to 8 fold higher antiparasitic effects than lumefantrine.Lumefantrine is found to be highly protein bound (95%). The elimination half life in malarial attaint patients will be 4 to 6 days. Lumefantrine and its metabolites are found in bile and faeces.

3. WHEN SHOULD THIS MEDICINE BE USED?
This medicine is used for the curative treatment of the mixed infections of malaria, including plasmodium falciparum resistant to other classic
antimalarials, particularly to adults and children more than 5 kg body weight in endemic area. It is also recommended for the treatment of the apparent emergence of malaria.

4. CAUTION! .
WHEN SHOULD THIS MEDICINE NOT BE USED ?

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE:
The patients who have permanent aversion to food during the treatment should be watched carefully, because there is a possible majoration of risk of upsurge. This drug was not evaluated in the complicated treatment of malaria including cerebral malaria and kidney insufficiency. On the other hand, an elongation of interval of qtc without clinical effects has been observed in some patients been treated with this drug, in particular with dehydratation or an ionic discord. No correlation was found between elongation of qtc interval and high concentration to the patients.

PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Do not use this medicine to pregnant woman without medical advice. Concemning lactation, no data is available today about its excretion in the maternal milk.
Do not hesitate to seek the advice of your physician or your pharmacist.

 EFFECT ON D RIVING AND OP ERATING MACHINERY:

No specific study of interaction was conducted with ARTEMETHER+LUMEFANTRINE. However patients with the medicine have taken at the same time antipyretics, antibiotics and a hydroelectric equlibration without bad tolerance.
