View company portfolio →What Arorx (Artesunate) is used for
Artesunate is a medicine for malaria from the artemisinin group. In the body it is quickly changed into its active form, dihydroartemisinin, which attacks the malaria parasite in the blood. As an injection it is the main treatment for severe malaria and is given in hospital by doctors and nurses. A rectal capsule (put into the back passage) is used as an emergency first step for young children with suspected severe malaria on the way to a health facility. Artesunate on its own does not finish the job: a full course of malaria tablets must follow.
- Severe malaria in adults and children, given as an injection into a vein or a muscle in hospital
- First treatment of severe malaria before a full course of malaria tablets is taken
- Emergency treatment of suspected severe malaria in children under 6 years old (as a rectal capsule), when an injection is not possible and the child is being taken to a health facility
Get medical help straight away if
- Get emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction during or after treatment: swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, wheezing, a tight chest or throat, trouble breathing or swallowing, hives, or blistering or peeling skin.
- Contact a doctor straight away for signs that red blood cells are being destroyed (haemolytic anaemia): dark urine, pale skin, yellow skin or eyes, unusual tiredness or weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting or confusion. This can start some time after treatment has finished.
- Contact a doctor straight away for signs of kidney problems: passing little or no urine, a change in how much you pass, blood in the urine or sudden weight gain.
- Contact a doctor for fever, chills, sore throat, or bruising or bleeding that you cannot explain. These can be signs of low blood cell counts.
