Arteether + Lumefantrine is a combination of two antiparasitic medicines: Arteether + Lumefantrine1 and Arteether + Lumefantrine2, which treats malaria. These medicines work by increasing the levels of haeme in the blood, a substance toxic to the malarial parasite. This kills the parasite and stops the infection from spreading.
