Malaria remains one of the most prevalent and life-threatening diseases globally, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Over the years, medical advancements have introduced several anti-malarial treatments that offer effective solutions for preventing and treating this dangerous illness. At Rouzel Pharma, we are committed to providing high-quality pharmaceutical solutions for malaria treatment. In this blog, we’ll discuss our top three anti-malarial medicines—LUMIROZ, RONATE and RTZEL and why they are essential in combating malaria.
1. LUMIROZ
LUMIROZ is a combination of Artemether and Lumefantrine, which are two powerful antimalarial agents. This fixed-dose combination is widely recognized for treating uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, the most dangerous strain of malaria parasites.
How LUMIROZ Works
- Artemether is a fast-acting derivative of artemisinin, a plant-derived compound that kills the parasite at its blood stage. It quickly reduces the number of parasites in the bloodstream, bringing rapid relief from malaria symptoms like fever and chills.
- Lumefantrine, on the other hand, has a longer half-life and ensures that any remaining parasites are eliminated from the bloodstream, preventing recrudescence (the reappearance of symptoms).
Benefits of LUMIROZ
- Highly effective in treating Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
- Rapid symptom relief within 48-72 hours.
- Reduced risk of resistance due to its dual-action mechanism.
LUMIROZ is a go-to option for healthcare professionals dealing with patients in malaria-endemic regions, as it offers a robust first-line treatment for uncomplicated cases of malaria.
2. RONATE 60mg
In cases of severe malaria, particularly when oral medications are not feasible due to vomiting or other complications, RONATE 60mg is the solution. This product contains Artesunate, a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin, known for its potent antimalarial activity. It is administered through intramuscular (I.M.) or intravenous (I.V.) injection, making it suitable for critically ill patients.
How RONATE 60mg Works
Artesunate directly targets the malaria parasite by generating free radicals that damage the parasite’s proteins and membranes, effectively killing it. This rapid action is critical in treating severe malaria cases, especially those with cerebral or complicated malaria, where delayed treatment could be fatal.
Benefits of RONATE 60mg
- Ideal for treating severe and complicated malaria.
- Fast-acting with near-instant parasitic clearance.
- Safe for use in both adults and children.
- Can be administered intravenously for immediate action, crucial for patients in critical conditions.
RONATE 60mg is often recommended as the first-line treatment in hospital settings where severe malaria complications have arisen, offering life-saving potential.
3. RTZEL
RTZEL, which contains α-β Arteether, is another highly effective anti-malarial treatment used for severe and complicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Arteether, a potent artemisinin derivative, is administered via injection and is especially valuable in treating cerebral malaria—a dangerous complication that can lead to coma or death if not addressed immediately.
How RTZEL Works
α-β Arteether works similarly to other artemisinin derivatives by destroying malaria parasites during their blood stage. The injection rapidly reduces the parasite count in the blood, providing quick relief from the severe symptoms of malaria.
Benefits of RTZEL
- Highly effective in treating severe and drug-resistant strains of malaria.
- Fast reduction of parasitic load in the bloodstream.
- Proven efficacy in managing cerebral malaria.
- Minimal side effects, making it suitable for various patient groups.
RTZEL offers a vital treatment option, especially in areas where malaria strains have developed resistance to other medications. Its effectiveness in handling drug-resistant malaria makes it an essential tool in the fight against this deadly disease.
