Artemether / lumefantrine for Malaria "Best for malaria, in my opinion. I’ve had malaria five times now and found this the best. Tried other medications, but the side effects and results don’t compare, well, for me that is. On other meds, I was sick for weeks, not clearing the parasites out, but with this, three days are a rest day or two after, and I feel okay."

Artemether / lumefantrine for Malaria "Coartem is used to treat malaria, a disease caused by an Anopheles mosquito. It works by interfering with the growth of parasites in the red blood cells. Do not use Coartem to prevent malaria, but use it to treat it. Coartem really gave me a good recovery, but not really the best as compared with Fansidar. It is only used to treat non-severe malaria."

For Malaria "Doesn't work for me. Every time I take it, I get very weak and do not recover for at least a month or more. Last time, it caused serious breathing problems, high heart rate, and weakness. I really need an alternative."
