Coartem 80/480 – 6 Tablets by Novartis

 

Beat Malaria Faster with Fewer Tablets

When malaria strikes, every hour matters. Coartem 80/480 by Novartis is a clinically proven, WHO-prequalified Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) that puts you on the path to recovery in just three days — with only six tablets to complete your full course. Available now at Faaiz Pharmacy, Port Harcourt, this high-strength antimalarial is the trusted choice for adults seeking fast, effective, and convenient malaria treatment.

 

What Is Coartem 80/480?

Coartem 80/480 is a fixed-dose combination antimalarial tablet manufactured by Novartis, one of the world’s foremost pharmaceutical companies. Each tablet contains 80 mg of Artemether and 480 mg of Lumefantrine — two complementary active ingredients that work together to attack the malaria parasite through two distinct mechanisms.

Artemether, a derivative of the natural compound artemisinin, rapidly kills malaria parasites in the early stages of infection by disrupting their ability to process haemoglobin. Lumefantrine then sustains the assault, clearing residual parasites from the bloodstream and preventing them from developing resistance. Together, this powerful duo makes Novartis Coartem one of the most effective malaria treatment tablets available in Nigeria today.

 

Why Coartem 80/480 Is the Smarter Choice for Adults

One of the most compelling advantages of Coartem 80/480 is its dramatically reduced pill burden. Where older formulations of artemether-lumefantrine required up to 24 tablets to complete a treatment course, a single Coartem 80/480 tablet is bioequivalent to four standard 20/120 mg tablets. That means your entire treatment — six tablets spread over three days — delivers the same therapeutic outcome with far greater convenience.

Fewer tablets mean better adherence. Medical studies confirm that patients who find treatments easier to follow are significantly more likely to complete their full course, which is critical for eliminating the parasite completely, reducing the risk of relapse, and helping prevent the development of drug-resistant malaria strains. When you buy Coartem 80/480 6 tablets online or in-store at Faaiz Pharmacy, you are choosing a treatment designed with real-world patient needs in mind.

 

WHO-Prequalified. Globally Trusted.

Novartis Coartem has a long, distinguished history as a frontline malaria treatment. Coartem 80/480 received WHO prequalification — the gold standard of international medicine safety and efficacy evaluation — making it the first and only high-strength ACT approved for public sector procurement worldwide. It has been available in Nigeria’s private sector since 2013 and has since been rolled out across more than ten African countries.

When you purchase Coartem 80/480 tablets at Faaiz Pharmacy in Port Harcourt, you can be confident you are receiving a genuine, regulated product from a licensed pharmacy committed to your health and wellbeing.

 

How to Take Coartem 80/480

It is essential that you complete the full six-tablet course over three days, exactly as directed, to ensure the infection is fully cleared.

Dosage Schedule:

• Day 1: Take 1 tablet as the first dose, then take 1 more tablet 8 hours later.
• Day 2: Take 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet at night.
• Day 3: Take 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet at night.

Always take Coartem 80/480 with food or a full meal, as eating significantly improves the absorption of Lumefantrine into the bloodstream. If you vomit within one hour of taking a dose, take a repeat dose as soon as possible. Do not stop the course early, even if you begin to feel better — completing all six tablets is what ensures a full cure.
