Résumé des preuves et recommandation du comité d'experts
Following the review of the age-appropriateness of formulations of essential medicines for children, the Expert Committee recommended replacing the 80 mg/mL strength of artemether oily injection with 20 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL strengths. The 80 mg/mL strength has limited utility for children under 12 years of age.
