Coartem Reviews
For Malaria "Best for malaria in my opinion. I’ve had malaria 5 times now and found this the best. Tried other medications but the side effects and result don’t compare, well for me that is. On other meds I was sick for weeks not clearing the parasites out but with this three days are a rest day or two after and feel ok."
For Malaria "Coartem is used to treat malaria, a disease caused by an anopheles mosquito. It works by interfering with the growth of parasites in the red blood cells. Do not use Coartem to prevent malaria but use it to treat it. Coartem really gave me a good recovery but not really the best as compared with Fansidar. It is only used to treat non severe malaria."
For Malaria "I was treated with this after contracting malaria three times in East Africa. It's a fantastic drug, low or no side effects and works quickly."
For Malaria "It cured malaria very fast."
For Malaria "Prescribed 20/120 dispersible over the counter by pharmacist with 6 pills for 3 days. Seemed to work. I am 75 kg and make."
For Malaria "Very effective. I always got general body weakness when taking antimalarials until I started Coartem."
For Malaria "Excellent malaria drugs, taking it after 2 hrs and I felt better."
