LUTER Tablets 80/480 mg combine Artemether (80 mg) and Lumefantrine (480 mg) in a fixed-dose formulation. This artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is highly effective against Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for most severe malaria cases.
It works by rapidly reducing malaria parasites in the blood (Artemether) and preventing their regrowth and survival (Lumefantrine). LUTER is recommended by health authorities for use in malaria-endemic regions and provides fast, reliable relief from malaria symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, and body pains.
