ARTEQUICK A new generation of artemisinin combination Artequick, a combination of artemisinin and piperaquine, is an ideal drug for the treatment of malaria and especially for the treatment of resistant P.falciparum malaria. An ideal antimalarial should possess five features: Quick action High efficacy and Prevention of resistance Short treatment regimen Block transmission
Quick action Results of the clinical studies in ARTEQUICK stops parasite development within 2 hours and greater than 95% parasite are killed within 24 hours. As a result of this quick action, ARTEQUICK reduces the morbidity and especially the mortality of P.falciparum malaria. High efficacy and Prevention of resistance Studies showed that ARTEQUICK had a high cure rate in multid-drug resistant P.falciparum epidemic area. A 28-day follow- up demonstrated a cure rate of 97% and a recrudescence rate of 3%. The combination of artemisinin and piperaquine delays the development of resistance of P.falciparum. This combination also is highly effective in vivax malaria with a relapse rate of 2% after 1 month follow-up. Low toxicity Clinical side effects are few and include nausea, vomitting,dizziness,abdominal pain and diarrhea occurring in 0-3% patients. No abnormal laboratory results in hematology, biochemistry or on the electrocardiogram were found within the therapeutic dose range. Short regimen Two doses.First at 0 hr and second 24hrs later. Block transmission Artemisinin,ingredient of ARTEQUICK, has a gametocidal effect on P.falciparum. And the combination of artemisinin and low-dose primaquine has a synergistic effect which reduces the infectivity of the gametocytes and clears the gametocytes in their early stage, therefore block malaria transmission. If all malaria infected patients are treated in the early stage and apply ¡°destroy malaria¡± method proposed by Professor Li Guoqiao in malaria endemic areas, the morbidity and population parasite carriage rate would decrease dramatically, therefore roll back malaria rapidly and could eliminate malaria in a short time in some endemic area.
