Comal Forte 20/120 is a high-potency antimalarial medication containing two synergistic active ingredients: Artemether (20mg) and Lumefantrine (120mg). This combination follows the World Health Organization (WHO) gold standard for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated malaria. Artemether provides rapid action by quickly reducing the parasite biomass in the bloodstream, providing fast relief from symptoms like fever and chills, while Lumefantrine acts more slowly to clear any remaining parasites and prevent a relapse.
In Nigeria, Comal Forte is a frontline clinical choice for treating malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, including multi-drug resistant strains. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, life-saving medication manufactured under strict international quality control standards.
Important: This medication is for the treatment of active malaria infections and is not intended for malaria prevention (prophylaxis). It must be taken as a complete course to ensure the infection is fully cleared. If you experience severe vomiting, inability to eat, or altered consciousness, seek immediate hospital care as these may be signs of severe or cerebral malaria requiring intravenous (IV) treatment.
Comal Forte 20/120 is primarily used to:
Treat acute, uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum
Rapidly reduce high fever and body aches associated with malaria infection
Clear parasites from the blood within 48 to 72 hours of the first dose
Prevent the recurrence of malaria by utilizing the long-acting Lumefantrine component
Provide an effective solution for malaria strains resistant to older drugs like Chloroquine
This product is suitable for:
Adults and children (weighing 5kg or more) diagnosed with uncomplicated malaria
Individuals living in or traveling from high-malaria-transmission zones with active symptoms
Patients requiring a reliable, standardized 3-day treatment regimen
Not recommended for: Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Artemether or Lumefantrine. It is contraindicated for patients with severe malaria (requiring IV therapy) or those with a history of heart rhythm disorders (QT prolongation). Consult your doctor before use if you are in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Take exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist; the standard course is 6 doses over 3 days
The tablets must be taken with a meal or a milky drink (containing fat) to ensure the Lumefantrine is properly absorbed into the body
For adults: Usually 4 tablets per dose, taken twice daily (morning and evening) for 3 days
If you vomit within 1 hour of taking a dose, you must take the dose again
Complete the full 3-day course even if you feel completely better after the first day

Headache or dizziness

Why do I have to take Comal Forte with food?
Lumefantrine, the ingredient that prevents the malaria from coming back, is only absorbed well when there is fat in your stomach. Taking it with a meal or a glass of milk makes the medicine much more effective.
Can I stop taking the medicine once my fever goes away?
No. If you stop after 1 or 2 days, the "weak" parasites die but the "strong" ones survive. This can cause the malaria to return even stronger and leads to drug resistance. Always finish the full 3-day pack.
Does Comal Forte protect me from getting malaria next month?
No. This is a treatment, not a preventive medicine. Once the 3-day course is finished and the drug leaves your system, you can be infected again if bitten by an infected mosquito.
Where can I purchase Comal Forte 20/120 in Nigeria?
