Novartis and Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) announced today the launch of Coartem® Dispersible, a new pediatric formulation of Coartem® (artemether/lumefantrine 20 mg/120 mg), for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria in infants and children.
Coartem Dispersible contains the same amounts of artemether and lumefantrine as Coartem, the leading artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) in Africa, and is the first dispersible fixed-dose ACT developed especially for children.
