Introduction
Bpther is a medication that contains the active ingredient Artesunate. It is available in tablet form and is commonly prescribed under the brand name Bpther. This medication is primarily used for the treatment of malaria.
Uses
Bpther is prescribed for the treatment of malaria. Malaria is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease caused by a parasite. This medication is effective in killing the malaria parasite and helping to alleviate the symptoms associated with the infection.
Dosage and Administration

Follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Typically, this medication is taken orally with a glass of water. It is advisable to take the medication with food to help reduce the risk of stomach upset.
Mechanism of Action
Bpther works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of the malaria parasite. Artesunate, the active ingredient in this medication, is thought to interfere with the parasite’s ability to replicate and survive within the red blood cells. By targeting the parasite, Bpther helps to eliminate the infection and provide relief from malaria symptoms.
