Nigeria bans multi-dose Artemether/Lumefantrine due to instability, urging switch to safer alternatives.
Nigeria’s drug regulator NAFDAC has reaffirmed its 2025 ban on multi-dose Artemether/Lumefantrine dry powder for oral suspension, citing instability after mixing with water that reduces effectiveness.
The ban, now in effect in 2026, prohibits all new registrations, renewals, or variations for the product and requires manufacturers to switch to safer dispersible tablets or single-dose sachets.
NAFDAC warns the outdated formulation may cause treatment failure, severe complications, or death.
Despite the ban, some versions remain in circulation, prompting intensified enforcement and public appeals to report suspected substandard medicines.
