Falcina Injection (60 mg)

Falcina Injection (60 mg) is a fast-acting antimalarial injectable formulation containing Artesunate, primarily indicated for the treatment of severe malaria, particularly when oral therapy is not feasible. It works by rapidly killing the malaria parasite in the blood, helping to control high parasitemia and life-threatening symptoms. Recommended by WHO for emergency treatment, Falcina Injection is often used in hospital settings to stabilize the patient before switching to oral medication. It is especially useful in cases of cerebral malaria and drug-resistant strains.
