Combither 20mg/120mg Tablet – Malaria Treatment

Overview:
Combither 20mg/120mg Tablet is a medication prescribed for the treatment of malaria in both children and adults. It contains two active ingredients that belong to a class of drugs known as antimalarials. This medicine is designed to treat malaria infections but is not suitable for preventing malaria or managing severe cases where critical organs like the brain, lungs, or kidneys are involved.

This tablet helps by eliminating the parasites that cause malaria, preventing the infection from worsening or spreading further. It should be taken along with food to enhance absorption and effectiveness. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration, and do not exceed the recommended amount, as higher doses can cause harmful effects. It is essential to complete the full course even if you start feeling better, as stopping early may allow the infection to return or worsen.

Common Side Effects:

Some side effects may occur, especially at the beginning of the treatment. These include:

• Headache

• Loss of appetite

• Weakness

• Joint and muscle pain

• Dizziness

These effects are usually temporary and resolve as your body adjusts to the medicine. If symptoms persist or worsen, contact your doctor immediately.

Important Precautions:

• Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, as they may interfere with this treatment.

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this tablet, as it may pose risks to the baby.

• Avoid taking alcohol with this medicine, as it may increase dizziness and other side effects.

• Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel sleepy or dizzy after taking this medication.

• Consult your doctor if you have allergies or any underlying health conditions before beginning the treatment.

How to Use:
