Malaria remains one of Nigeria’s most persistent health challenges, but today’s science-backed medicines make recovery faster and more reliable than ever.
One of the most trusted among them is AGATEM, a NAFDAC-approved Artemether/Lumefantrine combination therapy designed to eliminate malaria parasites effectively and safely.
The Dual Power Behind AGATEM
AGATEM combines Artemether and Lumefantrine, two powerful antimalarial agents that work together to destroy parasites at different stages of their life cycle:
- Artemether acts quickly, reducing the number of parasites in the blood within hours. It provides fast relief from fever and chills.
- Lumefantrine remains longer in the bloodstream, ensuring that any remaining parasites are eliminated and helping prevent relapse.
This dual mechanism not only clears malaria faster but also lowers the risk of treatment failure or resistance – a situation that is a growing concern in many malaria-endemic regions.
Scientifically Proven and WHO-Endorsed
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies (ACTs) like AGATEM are the most effective treatment for uncomplicated malaria.
This means AGATEM’s formulation aligns with global gold-standard recommendations.
Fast Action, Sustained Recovery
Most patients report feeling better within one or two days after beginning AGATEM. But completing the full 3-day treatment course is crucial. Even if symptoms disappear, stopping early may allow remaining parasites to survive and cause a rebound infection.
How to Maximize AGATEM’s Effectiveness
- Always take AGATEM with food or milk – this improves Lumefantrine absorption.
- Stick strictly to your prescribed dosing schedule (morning and evening for three days).
- Do not skip doses or mix with other malaria medicines without medical advice.
- Consult your pharmacist or healthcare worker if you experience vomiting soon after a dose.

- Clinically tested active ingredients
- Fast symptom relief

Malaria can be cured completely when treated promptly and correctly. AGATEM ensures that happens, combining fast action with long-term protection.
