Artesunate 100 Mg Tablet is an antimalarial medication used to treat malaria, particularly severe malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. It acts primarily on the asexual blood stages of the parasite's life cycle, reducing the parasite load and alleviating symptoms of malaria. This works by rapidly killing the malaria parasites (Plasmodium species) in the blood. It belongs to the artemisinin class of drugs, which are derived from the sweet wormwood plant (Artemisia annua). Artesunate 100 Mg Tablet is used for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria as well as severe malaria, including cerebral malaria, a potentially life-threatening complication characterized by altered consciousness and seizures.
