Olther ΑB 150 mg Injection 2 ml is an antimalarial medicine used in the treatment of malaria. Malaria is a parasitic disease caused due to the plasmodium species. The infection occurs when the infective female Anopheles mosquito bites. Symptoms may include chills, on-and-off fever, and sweating. This medicine is only used to treat the infection but does not prevent or use it for severe conditions (where the infection is spread to the brain, kidneys, or lungs). Olther ΑB 150 mg Injection 2 ml is also used to manage chloroquine-resistant malaria.
Olther ΑB 150 mg Injection 2 ml contains Alpha Beta Arteether, which belongs to the class of antimalarial/ antiparasitic drugs. It works by increasing the harmful toxic, and highly reactive free radicals in the blood. This kills the parasite and stops the infection from spreading. In this way, Olther ΑB 150 mg Injection 2 ml is used for the prevention of relapse of malaria caused by plasmodium species.
