What is ACT: Key to Malaria Treatment about?

Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapy (ACT) combines a fast-acting artemisinin derivative with a longer-acting antimalarial to effectively treat Plasmodium falciparum malaria and delay resistance. Commonly used combinations include Artesunate + Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine and Artemether + Lumefantrine, among others. While ACT provides rapid parasite clearance and reduces treatment failure, it is not effective against hypnozoites and requires primaquine for P. vivax liver stage.
