Artemether is an antimalarial medicine from the artemisinin family. This page is about artemether on its own, mainly the oily injection that is given into a muscle by a health worker. It is used for severe malaria when the first-choice injection, artesunate, is not available. (Artemether is also part of a combination tablet with lumefantrine, which has its own page.)
- Severe malaria (malaria that is a medical emergency), as a second choice when artesunate injection is not available
- A first injection for suspected severe malaria in a clinic that cannot give full treatment, while the person is being moved to a hospital
- The start of treatment for malaria when the person keeps vomiting and cannot keep tablets down
- It is on the WHO list of essential medicines for the management of severe malaria, for adults and children
Get medical help straight away if
- Severe malaria is a medical emergency and can quickly lead to death. Anyone with suspected severe malaria needs hospital care straight away.
- If the injection was given in a small clinic before transfer, it is only a first step. The person must still be taken to a hospital for full treatment.
- Tell the doctor or nurse at once if the person gets worse after the injection.
