Description Camosunate is a synergistic combination of artemisinin derivative (Artesunate) and an antimalarial (Amodiaquine). Camosunate is very potent against the asexual forms of plasmodium, schizonts and gametocytes. The schizonticidal action of Camosunate insures a rapid clearance of parasitaemia, ensuring a rapid clinical recovery, and its gametocidal action prevents the infestation. The half life of artesunate is short whereas amodiaquine is long. The absorption of Camosunate after oral administration is rapid and complete; it is extensively distributed in all tissues. Related
