Description
💊 Falcigo 60 mg (inj) Product Description
Falcigo 60 mg Injection is a potent antimalarial medication containing Artesunate, a water-soluble derivative of artemisinin. It is primarily indicated for the emergency treatment of severe malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, including cerebral malaria, in both adults and children.
Mechanism of Action: Falcigo works by rapidly generating reactive free radicals within the parasite’s food vacuole. These radicals cause lipid peroxidation and damage the proteins of the malaria parasite, leading to its rapid clearance from the bloodstream and preventing further progression of the disease.
Key Benefits:
- Rapid Parasite Clearance: Provides faster reduction of parasite load compared to traditional quinine-based treatments.
- Life-Saving Intervention: Specifically formulated to manage complicated and severe malaria cases where oral medication is not feasible.
- High Bioavailability: Intravenous or intramuscular administration ensures the medication reaches the systemic circulation immediately.
- World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended: Artesunate is considered the first-line treatment for severe malaria globally.
🛡️ Precautions
Is Falcigo 60 mg (inj) Right for You?
Before administration, inform the healthcare provider of any history of hypersensitivity to artesunate or other artemisinin derivatives. It should be used with caution in patients with pre-existing hepatic or renal impairment. Monitoring for post-treatment hemolysis (delayed anemia) is essential, especially in patients with high initial parasite counts.
DO NOT STOP SUDDENLY: Treatment must be completed as a full course. Once the patient is able to tolerate oral medication, they must transition to a full course of an Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) to ensure complete elimination of the parasite and prevent resistance.
⚠️ Side Effects
Common Side Effects:
- Dizziness and headache
- Nausea or vomiting
- Abdominal pain and diarrhea
- Injection site pain or swelling
Serious Side Effects:
- Delayed Hemolytic Anemia: Occurring days to weeks after treatment completion.
- Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, or swelling).
- Abnormal liver function tests or jaundice.
- Dark-colored urine or significant fatigue.
📝 How to Use
Dosage: Falcigo 60 mg is for professional medical use only. It is administered via slow intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection. The standard protocol typically involves a dose at 0, 12, and 24 hours, followed by once-daily doses until the patient can take oral medication. Dosage is weight-dependent and must be calculated by a clinician.

Very satisfied with the quality, but shipping took 28 days this time due to holiday backlog at customs. Usually it is faster, but just be aware.
