Side Effects
Like all medicines, Neo-Cotecxin 80mg injection can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common ones include:
- Headache and dizziness
- Loss of appetite
- Tiredness
- Nausea
Tell your doctor if a side effect is severe or does not go away.
Precautions
Take artemether with a fatty meal or milk, which greatly improves how much of the medicine is absorbed. Complete the full course exactly as prescribed so the malaria is fully cleared and does not return. See a doctor urgently if malaria symptoms are severe – high fever with confusion or breathing trouble needs hospital care, not oral tablets.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
