It is particularly useful in situations where rapid parasite clearance is essential for patient recovery.
Dosage and Administration: The dosage of Arteether Injection varies depending on the patient's age, weight, and the severity of the malaria infection. It is typically administered via intramuscular route under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. The dosage regimen may involve multiple injections over several days, as determined by the treating physician.
