Description
Introduction Consequent upon widespread resistance to chloroquine and most other antimalarial drugs, combination chemotherapy has become standard of treatment of acute uncomplicated symptomatic falciparum malaria (1,2). Combination therapy provides adequate case treatment and delay the development of resistance [3,4]. Artemisinin based combination chemotherapy is preferred as a result of the rapidity of action but non-artemisin based chemotherapy may be considered as alternative regimen (4). In Nigeria, the National Malaria Control Programme recommends artemether-lumefantrine or artesunate-amodiaquine for the treatment of acute symptomatic malaria at all levels of health care including home management (1). Artesunate have sometimes been combined with chloroquine or sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (5).
