    Abstract : The introduction of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) substantially reduced malaria-related mortality and morbidity during the past decade. Despite the widespread use of ACT, there is still a considerable knowledge gap with regards to safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetic properties of these drugs, particularly in vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women.

  7. 5. Clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antimalarial combination therapy

    Author : Sofia Friberg Hietala; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; antimalarials; artemisinins;

    Abstract : In the face of growing drug resistance, the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued recommendations strongly encouraging the use of combination therapies to combat uncomplicated malaria. Amongst the most effective treatments are those combining an artemisinin derivative with a longer acting component such as amodiaquine, lumefantrine or piperaquine. READ MORE
