Coartem Price: Malaria Drug Now Costs Nearly ₦10k - Man Laments by TruthHurts1(op): 2:33am On Jul 26, 2025
One of my staff was sick yesterday and I asked her to go for treatment. This was one of the drugs she was given. A malaria drug is now almost N10K?

If I hear any of you chant that Tinubu should continue after 2027 again, I’ll consider and treat you as a mortal enemy.

Let me break it down for you slowly. Coartem is like what Panadol is to generic paracetamol tablet brands like Emzor Paracetamol tablets, which are affordable and effective. At a time that 10 tablets of panadol was N1,500, ten tablets of Emzor paracetamol was around N150.

It is like what Rolls Royce is to a regular sedan car. They are both car brands but Rolls Royce is pricey.

Since you can't afford Coartem, explain your financial plight to the Pharmacist. The Pharmacist will give you the affordable generic brands of ACTs. These generic brands are effective as well as affordable. Most of them cost between N2k and N3k. You should have gone for that since you can't afford Coartem which is the innovator brand like the Rolls Royce of Arthemether Lumefantrine ACT. Same way you can get some generic antihypertensive medicine brands for N1,500, another brand of same medicine can be as high as N20k!

You go "do pass yourself " and out of ignorance want to place the blame on someone else.

Next time you get to the Pharmacy, tell the Pharmacist that you are not rich and you cannot afford exotic innovative brands.
Do not go there and form to impress the beautiful Pharmacist. You are not rich! Simple wink

Exactly.
Many Nigerians are financial illiterates , in times of economic hardships like this some ordinary folks will still be forming and be rubbing shoulder with the rich instead of adjusting, then go on social media to rant.

There are many cheap ways to treat malaria,one obvious cheap way is to buy insurance, the person that posted that news didn't do health insurance for their staff , yet will come online to grandstand

God gave us the trees and herbs as food for the healing of the body and we choose instead to use toxic malaria resistant Bleep

May God open our eyes to see.

When I was young only native herbs does it for me while fansider and chloroquine does not. I am going back to my roots.

Yes, how dare those illiterate Nigerians complain instead of celebrating the newspaper "achievements" of the sub evolved entity who rules over them from the comfort of his perch in Aso Rock!
Imagine having the audacity to complain about malaria medication increasing by 3 times in less than 2 years!

This particular drug was 3k in 2023

As soon as Tinubu came in, economy was destroyed

Here you lots are dragging those who can't afford this drug anymore because of hardship

how dare they complain?

they should adjust to drinking Agbo jedi jedi

They should adjust from eating three square meals

while politicians smile to the Bank, the people suffer in penury

Those who support evil on their fellow human being are heartless

It could have been better for you to be silent on this issue than ridiculing this administration and yourself on social media .

This is exactly the same supprt you gave Buhari for eight years.

According to this Nairaland user, instead of buying trusted brands you have used over the years for your health, go ahead and experiment with your body, that has now become a laboratory for clinical trials of various brand of drugs.

According to this Nairaland user, the drugs you take when you are sick is now to be compared to luxury brands of personal car, which itself is a luxury to own in the first place.

The same people will tell you to grow your own food and stop complaining about the cost of buying it; they will ask "Must you eat Spaghetti, are you an Italian?"

All to avoid calling out the real culprit behind the economic mess Nigeria founded herself in. These same people supported Buhari's Draconian rule, until his end. And they will tell you not to make enemies because of politics.

Nigerians, be wise. Be wise!

According to our mandate standers, if you can't produce your own malaria drugs, then die off.
Re: Coartem Price: Malaria Drug Now Costs Nearly ₦10k - Man Laments by Dogalmighty17: 6:45am On Jul 26, 2025
Nonsense. Either her staff scammed her, the drug was bought from a pharmacy where things are generally expensive or she is just making this up to trend.

See below. The same Coartem can go for 3,000 or 8400 naira depending on the pharmacy you buy from.

LonART and Lokmal are still less than 4k and these are the most effective malaria medications in the market currently. I don't like Tinubu bought it doesn't mean I shouldn't address a lie even I see it.

There are cheaper types of anti-malaria medications, go for them and leave the 10k ones for those that can afford them. Regardless of who is in power, we've had Nigerians that can too broke to afford stuffs and those comfortable enough to. All these Nigerians can't afford this, Nigerians can't afford that talks is getting tiring.

Poor Nigerians should as well start producing their own drug malaria too and stop complaining. This is the renewed hope you campaigned for.

Even when the drugs were less than 2k, there were Nigerians that were too poor to afford it just as there were well-to-do Nigerians who could afford the expensive one for 10k back then. Anybody that cannot afford Coartem should go and get Amatem. It's no where close to 10k and it's just as effective
Re: Coartem Price: Malaria Drug Now Costs Nearly ₦10k - Man Laments by tommy589(m): 8:21am On Jul 26, 2025
Why 10,000 when shal'artem is less than 1000 Naira in some places. It's just to get an alternative.
No doubt drugs prices is now high and the gradual increament started from Buhari time. Some medications cost from 2020 to now has increased over 500%
