About Lumerax Syrup

Lumerax Syrup belongs to the class of 'anti-malarial drugs', primarily used to treat and prevent malaria in children. 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 sends the 'Plasmodium parasite' into the bloodstream, which affects the red blood cells and liver cells. Malaria symptoms typically begin 10 days to 4 weeks after infection. They include chills, high fever, profuse sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, anaemia, muscle pain, convulsions, coma and bloody stools.

Lumerax Syrup contains two medicines, namely: Artemether and Lumefantrine. These are anti-malarial drugs that interfere with the Plasmodium parasite's growth in the red blood cells of the human body. Lumerax Syrup is a combination that is used to treat non-severe malaria caused by a parasite called 'Plasmodium falciparum,' and other Plasmodium species. It works by inhibiting nucleic acid and protein synthesis in Plasmodium falciparum. Artemether is known to reduce parasite biomass, and Lumefantrine eliminates residual parasites.

Your paediatrician will decide the dose and duration based on your child's medical condition. Common side effects of Lumerax Syrup include headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, weakness, fever, chills, tiredness, muscle/joint pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, cough and trouble sleeping.
