Lonart is a high-quality Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT), which is the gold standard treatment for malaria. This specific "By 24" pack contains 24 tablets, each with a fixed-dose combination of Artemether and Lumefantrine. It is designed to provide a rapid "knockdown" of malaria parasites followed by a sustained action to ensure the infection does not return.
This medication is indicated for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated malaria. It is used for:
Plasmodium falciparum Infections: Targeted at the most common malaria parasite in Nigeria.
Fever & Chills: Providing rapid relief from the intense symptoms of a malaria attack.
Parasite Clearance: Effectively killing malaria parasites in the blood to prevent complications like cerebral malaria or severe anemia.
Artemether (20mg): A fast-acting component that rapidly reduces the parasite burden in the body within hours.
Lumefantrine (120mg): A long-acting component that stays in the system longer to clear any remaining parasites and prevent a relapse.
The "By 24" pack is typically the standard adult dose (for individuals weighing 35kg and above). The treatment follows a 3-day course (6 doses total):
Day 1: Take 4 tablets immediately, followed by 4 tablets exactly 8 hours later.
Day 2: Take 4 tablets in the morning and 4 tablets in the evening (12 hours apart).
Day 3: Take 4 tablets in the morning and 4 tablets in the evening (12 hours apart).
Note: You must finish all 24 tablets to ensure the malaria is completely cured.
Take with Food: Lonart must be taken with a meal containing fat (such as milk, eggs, or a meal with oil/butter). Fat significantly improves the absorption of Lumefantrine, making the drug much more effective.
Swallow Whole: Take the tablets with water.
Vomiting: If you vomit within 1 hour of taking a dose, you should repeat the dose. Contact our pharmacist if you need a replacement for the vomited dose.
Not a Preventive: Lonart is for treating an existing malaria infection; it should not be taken as a "prophylaxis" (preventive).
Heart Health: Consult our pharmacist if you have a history of heart rhythm disorders (QT prolongation).
First Trimester Pregnancy: Use in the first 3 months of pregnancy should only happen if specifically prescribed by a doctor after a diagnosis. It is generally safe for use in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
Severe Malaria: If the patient is unable to swallow, is vomiting persistently, or is confused, they require injectable treatment in a hospital immediately.
Indicated For: Adults and children weighing over 35kg. For smaller children, please ask for Lonart Forte or Lonart Suspension to ensure the correct pediatric dose.
Q: Why do I feel weak after taking Lonart?
A: Weakness is usually a symptom of the malaria infection itself rather than the drug. As the parasites die and your body recovers, your strength will return. Ensure you rest and eat well.
Q: Can I take Lonart if I’m not sure it’s malaria?
A: It is always best to perform a Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) or a lab test first. Overusing antimalarials when you don't have malaria can lead to drug resistance.
Q: Can I take this with my regular medications?
A: Avoid taking Lonart with other drugs that affect heart rhythm or certain antifungal medications. Always inform our pharmacist of any other drugs you are taking.
