E-DRUG: Artemether/lumefantrine oral liquid formulation (3)
------------------------------------------------------

Dear all,

You may not be aware, besides Zambia, there must be other countries also 
receiving this, we receive about two formulations of paediatric 
Artemether/Lumefantrine powder for reconstitution. Between the two types I 
have mostly used the one from Dafra Pharma ( the other and cheaper one is 
from India): Suspension 60 ml- Artemether 180 mg/60 ml and Lumefantrine 1080 
mg/60 ml. Given as 4 mg of Artemether per Kg body weight once daily (24 
hourly) for three consecutive days orally.

Kind regards,

Dr. Mulenga Joseph
