Malaria continues to affect millions of Nigerians every year, causing fever, chills, weakness, and in severe cases, death. Thankfully, modern medicine now offers highly effective treatments that can clear malaria parasites quickly when used correctly.
One of the most trusted names in this category is AGATEM, a NAFDAC-approved Artemether/Lumefantrine formulation.
What Makes AGATEM Effective
AGATEM belongs to a class of medicines called Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies (ACTs), the same type recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the gold standard for treating uncomplicated malaria.
It combines two powerful agents:
- Artemether, which kills malaria parasites rapidly,
and - Lumefantrine, which remains in the bloodstream longer to eliminate remaining parasites and prevent relapse.
This combination ensures malaria parasites are destroyed at different stages of their life cycle, making AGATEM both fast-acting and long-lasting.
Approved and Trusted
AGATEM is fully approved by NAFDAC, Nigeria’s health regulatory authority, confirming it meets strict quality, safety, and efficacy standards. It is produced under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and has undergone laboratory testing to verify potency and purity.
Fast Relief, Fewer Recurrences
Most users begin to feel better within one to two days of starting AGATEM, but completing the full treatment course is vital. Stopping early can allow hidden parasites to survive and cause a relapse. Following your doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions ensures full recovery and helps reduce the risk of drug resistance.
Who Can Use AGATEM
AGATEM is recommended for:
- Adults and children diagnosed with uncomplicated malaria.
- Pregnant women in the second and third trimesters (under medical supervision).
- Individuals living in or traveling to malaria-endemic areas.
Note: AGATEM is not for preventive use. It treats malaria after infection has occurred.
Always confirm diagnosis with a malaria test before starting treatment.
How to Take AGATEM Safely
- Take with food or milk to enhance absorption.
- Stick strictly to the prescribed dosage schedule (usually twice daily for three days or as prescribed by your Doctor or other health professional).
- Do not skip doses or share your medication with other people.
- Avoid combining AGATEM with other antimalarial drugs unless advised by a doctor.
Why Nigerians Trust AGATEM
- It is NAFDAC-approved and locally distributed.
- It contains clinically proven active ingredients.
- It provides consistent quality with every batch.
- It is widely available in pharmacies and hospitals nationwide.
