Falcigo 60 mg (inj) (Artesunate) — Order Online
Falcigo 60 mg injection is indicated for treating severe malaria in adults and pediatric patients. It contains the active ingredient Artesunate, an antimalarial medicine used alone or in combination with other medications to treat malaria (a serious condition that is spread by a parasite that enters the human body by the bite of infected mosquitoes). Treating severe malaria with Falcigo injection should always be followed by a complete treatment course of appropriate oral antimalarial therapy. Artesunate works by producing harmful chemicals within the malarial parasite, thereby killing lit. WHO recommends Artesunate in preference to quinine for treating severe P.Falciparum malaria in adults and children. Intravenous injection is the preferred route of administration, although intramuscular administration is also possible. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
The injection is given by a doctor or a nurse and should not be self-administered. The medicine is safe when used in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and let your doctor know if any side effects bother you or do not resolve within a few days. Avoid taking any other medicine or antacids along with this medicine unless advised by the doctor, as they may affect the absorption of the medicine. Please do not receive the medicine for treating any other medical condition without discussing it with your doctor. It is unknown whether consuming alcohol while using Falcigo 60 injection is safe. Please talk to your doctor. Artesunate injection may be unsafe during pregnancy. However, there is limited evidence in the research studies. Before prescribing this injectable drug, your doctor will weigh the benefits and potential risks. Please consult your doctor.
Falcigo injection does not treat the hypnozoite liver stage forms of plasmodium and will, therefore, not prevent malaria relapses.
The intravenous administration of Artesunate should be avoided in patients allergic to Artesunate 60 or any of its components. However, consult your doctor if you are unaware of any allergy or are using the injection for the first time. Â
There is limited information on the use of Artesunate 60 injection in patients with liver and kidney disorders. Please consult your doctor. Â Â Â
Before starting the Artesunate injection, inform your doctor if you have other health conditions like kidney or heart-related problems. This is because certain medical conditions may affect your treatment, and you may even need dose modifications. Also, let your doctor know about all the medicines you are taking because they may affect or be affected by this drug. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Some people using Falcigo may experience dizziness, weakness, headache, and loss of appetite as the side effects of the medicine. You may also notice injection site reactions like redness, pain, or swelling. Please talk to your doctor if these side effects persist for longer. Your doctor may perform a blood test to monitor your condition once a week for four weeks to detect the presence of malarial parasites.
What is Falcigo 60 mg (inj) used for?
Falcigo 60 mg is used to treat severe malaria, a serious parasitic infection spread by mosquitoes. This medicine contains artesunate, which works by killing the malaria parasites in your blood. It's given by injection when malaria is severe or when you cannot take tablets by mouth. Your doctor will determine the right dose and how often you need injections based on your condition. Treatment usually continues until your symptoms improve and you can switch to oral tablets to complete your course.
How does Falcigo 60 mg (inj) work in the body?
Falcigo 60 mg works by destroying malaria parasites in your bloodstream. When you take it, artesunate (the active ingredient) enters infected red blood cells and damages the parasites' internal structures, causing them to die. This stops the parasites from multiplying and spreading throughout your body, which reduces fever, chills, and other malaria symptoms. The medicine works quickly, making it especially useful for severe malaria cases.
Can I stop using Falcigo 60 mg (inj) once I start feeling better?
No, you should not stop using Falcigo once you feel better. You must complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve. Stopping early can allow the infection to return or become resistant to the medicine. Always finish the complete treatment and discuss any concerns with your doctor before making changes to your prescription.
How much Falcigo 60 mg (inj) should I take, and how often?
Your doctor will determine your Falcigo dose based on your weight, age, and severity of malaria. Artesunate is typically given as an injection, usually starting with one dose, followed by additional doses at specific intervals over several days. The exact dosing schedule varies between patients. Never adjust your dose or stop treatment without consulting your doctor, as completing the full course is essential for effective malaria treatment. Always follow your doctor's instructions precisely.
What things can affect how well Falcigo 60 mg (inj) works?
Several factors can reduce how well your Falcigo 60 mg works. Taking it with certain other medicines — especially those for heart rhythm, digestion, or seizures — may interfere with its effectiveness. Severe liver or kidney problems can affect how your body processes the medicine. Vomiting shortly after taking a dose means you may not absorb enough medicine. High fevers or severe malaria symptoms can also impact treatment success. Always tell your doctor about all medicines you take and any liver or kidney conditions before starting Falcigo.
How quickly will I notice Falcigo 60 mg (inj) working?
Falcigo 60 mg works quickly against malaria parasites. You may notice fever dropping and symptoms improving within 24–48 hours of starting treatment. However, you must complete the full course as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel better sooner. Blood tests may show parasite levels decreasing within days. Individual response varies based on infection severity and your immune system. Always take the complete treatment to prevent the infection returning.
Are there any serious warning signs I should watch out for with Falcigo 60 mg (inj)?
Watch for severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), severe anemia (extreme tiredness, shortness of breath), neurological symptoms (confusion, seizures, difficulty walking), sudden vision changes, or severe abdominal pain. These require immediate medical attention. Also report persistent vomiting, yellowing of skin or eyes, or dark urine. Contact your doctor or emergency services right away if you experience any of these. Always inform healthcare staff you're taking Falcigo before any procedures.
Is it safe to use Falcigo 60 mg (inj) for a long period of time?
Long-term use of artesunate is not recommended. Artesunate is designed as a short-term treatment for severe malaria, typically given for 3 days before switching to oral antimalarial tablets. Prolonged use increases the risk of side effects and may affect your blood cells and liver function. Your doctor will determine the appropriate treatment duration based on your specific condition. Do not continue artesunate beyond what your doctor prescribes without medical guidance.
Are there any foods or drinks I should avoid while on Falcigo 60 mg (inj)?
You can eat and drink normally while taking Falcigo 60 mg. There are no specific foods or drinks you need to avoid with artesunate (the active ingredient). You may eat before or after your injection without concern. However, if you experience nausea or stomach upset as a side effect, eating small, light meals may help you feel more comfortable. Always take any other medicines you use as prescribed, and tell your doctor about all medications and supplements you're taking, as some may interact with artesunate.
Which medicines should I avoid while using Falcigo 60 mg (inj)?
Falcigo 60 mg should not be mixed with certain blood-thinning medicines like warfarin, as artesunate may reduce how well they work. Tell your doctor about all medicines you're taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Some anticonvulsants (medicines for seizures) and antimalarials (other malaria treatments) may also interact with Falcigo. Your doctor will check for dangerous combinations before you start treatment. Never stop or change any medicine without speaking to your doctor first.
Do I need a different dose of Falcigo 60 mg (inj) if I have kidney or liver problems?
If you have kidney or liver problems, your doctor may need to adjust your Falcigo dose or monitor you more carefully during treatment. Artesunate (the active ingredient) is processed by your liver and kidneys, so reduced function can affect how your body handles the medicine. Do not change your dose yourself. Tell your doctor about any kidney or liver conditions before starting treatment so they can prescribe the safest dose for you and check your health during therapy.
Is Falcigo 60 mg (inj) safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Artesunate is considered safe during pregnancy for treating severe malaria, especially in the second and third trimesters. However, safety data in the first trimester is limited. If you're pregnant or planning pregnancy, tell your doctor before taking this medicine. If you're breastfeeding, artesunate passes into breast milk in small amounts and is generally considered safe for your baby. Discuss your specific situation with your doctor to weigh benefits and any risks for your individual circumstances.
What should I discuss with my doctor before starting Falcigo 60 mg (inj)?
Before starting Falcigo 60 mg, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding, take other medicines, or have had allergic reactions to artesunate or similar drugs. Mention any blood disorders, heart problems, or neurological conditions. Your doctor needs this information to ensure the medicine is safe for you and won't interact with your current health or treatments.
Which strength of Falcigo 60 mg (inj) is most commonly recommended?
Falcigo 60 mg is the standard strength most commonly recommended for treating severe malaria [a serious infection caused by parasites]. Your doctor will determine the exact dose based on your body weight, the severity of your infection, and your age. The 60 mg strength is typically used as the initial dose, followed by additional doses at specific intervals over several days. Your healthcare provider will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and medical history.
