Some people may experience headaches, weakness, dizziness, and joint pain as side effects of this medicine. You may also notice some injection site reactions like pain, swelling, or redness. Please consult your doctor if these side effects do not resolve or persist for a longer duration. You may be monitored with blood tests once a week for 4 weeks to detect the presence of malarial parasites.
E Mal Injection releases a highly reactive free radical, which causes the death of the malaria-causing parasite.
It also prevents the formation of protein and alters the internal structure of the parasite, thereby killing it.
Artemether is well absorbed from the gut and rapidly hydrolysed to an active metabolite that has a short half-life of 2–3 hours. Lumefantrine absorption from the gut is greatly enhanced by a high-fat meal; it undergoes hepatic metabolism and has a half-life of 2–6 days.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
