Application

Artesunate is primarily used in the treatment of malaria infections caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. Its efficacy against chloroquine-resistant strains makes it a valuable treatment option, particularly in areas where malaria resistance to other drugs is prevalent. Artesunate is administered to patients with malaria to rapidly kill the parasites, relieving symptoms such as fever, headache, chills, and muscle pain. In severe cases of malaria, artesunate can be administered intravenously to achieve faster and more effective results. Its applications extend to both adults and children, with appropriate dosage adjustments based on age and weight.
