Artequick is a fourth-generation Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) used for the rapid treatment of malaria. It is distinguished by its high efficacy and shortened treatment window. It combines Artemisinin (the active principle of the plant Artemisia annua) with Piperaquine, a long-acting antimalarial. This combination ensures that parasites are killed quickly while providing a protective "shield" in the blood to prevent the infection from returning.
This product is primarily indicated for the treatment of all types of malaria, including:
Falciparum Malaria: Including strains that are resistant to other common antimalarials.
Vivax Malaria: Providing effective clearance of the parasites from the blood.
Multi-drug Resistant Malaria: Often used where other treatments have failed.
Artemisinin: A powerful, fast-acting component that reduces the bulk of the parasite load within the first few hours of administration.
Piperaquine Phosphate: A long-acting antimalarial that stays in the body for up to 28 days, ensuring any surviving parasites are eliminated and providing short-term protection against reinfection.
Shortened Course: Unlike some other ACTs, Artequick is often administered as a two-dose regimen over 24 hours (or as specifically directed by your healthcare provider).
Standard Adult Dose: Typically 2 tablets taken as a single dose, followed by another 2 tablets exactly 24 hours later.
Strict Adherence: It is vital to take the second dose at the correct time to ensure the medicine reaches the required concentration in your blood to kill all parasites.
With Water: Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water.
Food Timing: While it can be taken with food, it is best to avoid very high-fat meals immediately before or after taking Artequick, as excessive fat can interfere with the absorption of Piperaquine.
Vomiting: If you vomit within 1 hour of taking the tablets, you must repeat the dose. If vomiting continues, seek medical attention for an injectable alternative.
Not for Prevention: Artequick is a curative treatment. It should only be used when a malaria infection is confirmed or strongly suspected; it is not a daily preventive pill.
Heart Rhythm: Inform our pharmacist if you have a known heart condition, specifically "QT prolongation," as Piperaquine can affect heart rhythm in sensitive individuals.
Pregnancy: Artequick should be used with caution during the first trimester. It is generally considered safe during the second and third trimesters, but always consult a doctor first.
Severe Malaria: If you experience signs of severe malaria (coma, severe anemia, or kidney failure), go to a hospital immediately for IV treatment.
Indicated For: Adults and children.
Weight-Based: For children, the dose is strictly determined by body weight. Ensure you are using the correct pediatric presentation if treating a child.
Q: Why is the Artequick course shorter than other malaria drugs?
A: The specific synergy between Artemisinin and Piperaquine allows for a faster clearance of the parasite, meaning fewer doses are required to achieve a clinical cure compared to older combinations.
Q: Can I take it with my regular medications?
A: Most common medications are fine, but avoid taking Artequick with other drugs that affect heart rhythm or certain antifungal medications without checking with our pharmacist first.
Q: Will it protect me from getting malaria again next week?
A: Because Piperaquine stays in your blood for a long time, it provides some "post-treatment prophylaxis" for about 3–4 weeks. However, you should still use mosquito nets and repellents.
