C ZONTY LF Tablet

C ZONTY LF Tablet is a potent antimalarial medication from Green Cross Remedies, featuring a combination of Artemether (80 mg) and Lumefantrine (480 mg). It is indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria and is suitable for patients aged 2 months and older.

Uses:

C ZONTY LF Tablet is primarily used for the treatment of malaria, specifically:

• Uncomplicated Malaria: It is effective in treating infections caused by Plasmodium falciparum, the most common and deadly malaria parasite.

Indications: 

C ZONTY LF Tablet is indicated for:

1. Treatment of Uncomplicated Malaria: It is prescribed for patients diagnosed with uncomplicated malaria to alleviate symptoms and clear the infection.
2. Patients Aged 2 Months and Older: This medication is suitable for use in children and adults, starting from 2 months of age.
3. Combination Therapy: C ZONTY LF is often used in combination with other antimalarial drugs as part of a comprehensive treatment strategy, depending on the healthcare provider's recommendation.

Mechanism of Action:

C ZONTY LF Tablet combines two active ingredients: Artemether and Lumefantrine, which work synergistically to effectively combat malaria.

1. Artemether: Artemether is derived from the sweet wormwood plant (Artemisia annua). It acts quickly against the malaria parasite by producing free radicals that damage the parasite's proteins and membranes. This rapid action leads to the destruction of the parasite, especially during the blood stage of its lifecycle.
2. Lumefantrine: Lumefantrine complements Artemether by inhibiting the beta-hematin formation, which is crucial for the parasite's survival. It interferes with the parasite's ability to process hemoglobin, resulting in the accumulation of toxic heme within the parasite. This action not only inhibits the growth of the parasite but also contributes to its eventual death.

Dosage:

• Administered over a 3-day regimen as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, and fatigue. Consult a doctor if severe reactions occur.

Contraindications:

• Not recommended for patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Artemether, Lumefantrine, or any component of the tablet.

Drug Interactions:

• Inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
