About This Service
What Is Artesunate IV Therapy?
Artesunate is a water-soluble, semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin extracted from sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua) that generates reactive oxygen species upon activation by intracellular iron, selectively inducing oxidative stress and programmed cell death in iron-rich cells including certain cancer cell populations while preserving healthy tissue.
Intravenous administration is the preferred delivery route for artesunate in integrative oncology. IV infusion achieves peak plasma concentrations within minutes, bypassing the variable absorption and first-pass metabolism that limit oral dosing.
SeeBeyond Medicine prescribes IV artesunate as adjunctive therapy within a comprehensive integrative oncology protocol. The IV route ensures your body receives the full therapeutic dose every session.
