What are Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies (ACTs)?
Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies, or ACTs, are a class of medications used to treat malaria, a life-threatening disease caused by parasites transmitted through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. ACTs combine an artemisinin derivative with another antimalarial drug. This combination helps to increase efficacy, reduce the potential for drug resistance, and improve patient outcomes.
