Artemether is an antimalarial drug for uncomplicated malaria caused by P. falciparum (and chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum) or chloroquine-resistant P. vivax parasites.
The combination of artemether and lumefantrine is used to treat certain kinds of malaria infections (a serious infection spread by mosquitoes). Artemether and lumefantrine should not be used to prevent malaria.
Quinine is a medication used to treat malaria and babesiosis, including malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum resistant to chloroquine when artesunate is not available.
