α-β Arteether 75mg Injection: Fast-Acting Antimalarial for Severe & Chloroquine-Resistant Malaria
α-β Arteether 75mg is a semi-synthetic Artemisinin derivative from Artemisia annua. It generates TOXIC FREE RADICALS inside the malarial parasite, breaking down HEME at the source. Without heme metabolism, the parasite cannot survive. Plasmodium falciparum strains resistant to Chloroquine, Quinine, and Mefloquine respond well to this drug. Doctors prescribe it for severe, uncomplicated, and cerebral malaria cases. Deep intramuscular use only, in a hospital setting, strictly on prescription.
Severe malaria cases demand a supply chain that never breaks. Riqfame Critical Care maintains WHO-GMP and ISO 9001:2015-certified standards across its injectable range. DCGI-approved formulation, reliable stock availability, and dedicated promotional support come with every partnership. Franchise partners receive district-wise monopoly rights from day one. A few territories across India are still open for the right partners.

Questions Patients Ask About This Injection
Question 1. Why is α-β Arteether given only by intramuscular injection?
Answer. The drug formulation is oil-based. Oil-based injections cannot go into a vein safely. Deep IM delivery ensures steady drug absorption into the bloodstream. Alternate injection sites reduce local tissue irritation. Only trained hospital staff administer this drug.
Question 2. How long does a full treatment course last?
Answer. The standard course runs for 3 consecutive days. Adults receive 150mg once daily via the IM route. Children get 3mg per kg of body weight per day. Completing all 3 doses is critical, stopping early risks parasite recurrence. The treating doctor determines if any extension is needed.
Question 3. Can α-β Arteether cause neurological side effects?
Answer. Yes, neurotoxicity is a documented risk at high doses. Dizziness and tremors appear first. Severe cases may develop seizures or breathing difficulty. Standard doses have a wide safety margin, though. Doctors watch neurological status closely throughout treatment.
