Uses of Bitether 80mg Injection

Bitether 80mg Injection is used to treat malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and mixed infections.

It is not used to prevent malaria.

Artemether acts quickly to kill most of the malaria parasites in the blood, and lumefantrine works more slowly to clear the parasites that remain.
