In hospitals, pharmacies, and clinics across Nigeria, one antimalarial is earning widespread trust: AGATEM.
AGATEM has earned the confidence of healthcare professionals as a reliable first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria. Its Artemether/Lumefantrine formulation aligns perfectly with the World Health Organization (WHO)’s recommendation for Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies (ACTs) – the global gold standard for malaria treatment.
Healthcare professionals consistently recommend it as a first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria, and for good reason.
#1: Clinical Reliability and NAFDAC Approval
AGATEM is NAFDAC-approved and produced under strict quality-control standards, ensuring purity, potency, and consistent results. Pharmacists trust it for its reliable efficacy and well-tolerated safety profile in both adults and children.
#2: Aligned with WHO Treatment Guidelines
The World Health Organization recommends Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies (ACTs) as the global standard for uncomplicated malaria. AGATEM’s combination of Artemether and Lumefantrine fits this recommendation perfectly.
#3: Scientifically Proven Effectiveness
AGATEM’s formula works in two critical phases:
- Artemether, a fast-acting agent, quickly attacks malaria parasites in the bloodstream, reducing fever and easing symptoms within the first 24 hours.
- Lumefantrine, the longer-acting partner, continues to work in the body for days after treatment, killing any remaining parasites and preventing relapse.
This complementary action gives healthcare workers confidence that their patients will not only feel better fast but also stay malaria-free after completing the prescribed course.
#4: Easy to Administer, Well Tolerated
AGATEM’s convenient dosing (taken twice daily for three days) makes it easier for patients to complete treatment. When taken with food or milk, absorption is optimal and side effects remain minimal. This improves adherence and ensures full recovery.
#5: Reducing Resistance Through Correct Use
Malaria drug resistance is a major concern globally. By using WHO-recommended ACTs like AGATEM – and ensuring patients complete their full three-day course – healthcare professionals play a crucial role in preventing resistance and protecting community health.
#6: Supporting Nigeria’s Malaria Control Efforts
By recommending AGATEM, healthcare professionals are supporting national malaria control strategies and WHO guidelines, ensuring patients receive safe, effective, and globally recognized treatment.
#7: Suitable for Diverse Patient Groups
AGATEM is effective for both adults and children (age-appropriate dosage required). It’s also suitable for pregnant women in the second and third trimesters, under medical supervision.
#8: Manufactured to Global Standards
AGATEM is produced under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions, ensuring consistent quality, potency, and safety. NAFDAC’s certification confirms that each pack meets required specifications.
#9: Reinforcing Public Confidence
By recommending AGATEM, healthcare professionals are not just treating malaria, they’re reinforcing public confidence in proper, evidence-based medicine and discouraging self-medication or counterfeit drugs.
Always confirm malaria with a test before starting treatment. Once diagnosed, choose an ACT like AGATEM for complete recovery.
AGATEM’S Trusted Pharmacological Profile
AGATEM’s dual formulation delivers both speed and sustainability:
- Artemether attacks parasites rapidly, easing fever and chills within hours.
- Lumefantrine stays in the system longer, ensuring complete clearance and reducing recurrence.
Together, they make AGATEM both fast-acting and dependable.
