Artesunate is safe when taken as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the dosage instructions carefully and report any bothersome side effects to your doctor.
Artesunate should be avoided by individuals allergic to it or any of its components. If you are unsure about allergies or using it for the first time, consult your doctor.
No, do not stop taking Artesunate without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully treated, so it is important to complete the prescribed course.
