Albelex 75 MG Injection 2 ML contains alpha-beta arteether (75 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species: Alpha-beta arteether generates reactive oxygen species and free radicals within your body, which then attach to the proteins in the malaria-causing parasite.

• Oxidative Damage: The attachment of these reactive molecules leads to oxidative damage, which inhibits the growth of these parasites.

• Targeting Parasite Food Vacuole: The medicine targets the food vacuole of the malarial parasite, preventing it from converting heme into a non-toxic form.

• Accumulation of Cytotoxic Heme: The inhibition of heme polymerization leads to an accumulation of cytotoxic heme within the parasite's body, eventually causing its death and removal from the bloodstream.
