## India standard (CDSCO / Jan Aushadhi context)

### Overview

A fixed-dose combination of two antimalarial medicines used together to treat uncomplicated malaria caused by the falciparum parasite. In India it is a frontline artemisinin-based combination therapy widely used under national malaria programmes.

### Recommendations

- Use only after malaria is confirmed by a blood test or rapid diagnostic test, not for unconfirmed fever.
- Take the full course exactly as prescribed by a doctor or health worker, even if you start feeling better.
- Take with food or a milk-based drink, which helps the body absorb the medicine.
- Follow up if fever persists or returns, as this may suggest treatment failure or another infection.
- Inform the prescriber about pregnancy, as guidance for early pregnancy may differ.

### Do's

- Complete every tablet in the full treatment course.
- Take it with a fatty meal or milk for better effect.
- Keep the next of any vomited dose situation under medical advice and report repeated vomiting.

### Don'ts

- Do not stop early once symptoms improve.
- Do not use it to prevent malaria, as it is meant for treatment.
- Do not self-medicate without a confirmed diagnosis.

### Others

People with serious heart-rhythm problems, those on certain other medicines, and women in early pregnancy should use it only under medical supervision; seek urgent help for severe or worsening malaria symptoms such as drowsiness, fits, or breathing difficulty.
