About Leosun 120mg Injection

ARTESUNATE belongs to the class of 'anti-malarial drugs', primarily used to treat malaria. Malaria is a disease caused by a plasmodium parasite, transmitted by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. When an infected mosquito bites a healthy person, it transmits the 'Plasmodium parasite' into the bloodstream, which affects the red blood cells and liver cells. Malaria symptoms usually start in 10 days to 4 weeks after the infection. They include chills, high fever, profuse sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, anemia, muscle pain, convulsions, coma, and bloody stools.

ARTESUNATE contains ‘Artesunate’. This ARTESUNATE is antimalarial medicine that interferes with the plasmodium parasite's growth in the red blood cells of the human body. ARTESUNATE is used to treat malaria caused by a parasite called 'Plasmodium falciparum,' other plasmodium species.  It works by forming harmful chemicals within the malarial parasite, therefore killing the parasites.
