Understanding Malaria & Its Prevention
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. It is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of Africa, Asia, South America, and Central America.
How Do Malaria Tablets Work?
Malaria prevention tablets work by inhibiting the growth of the malaria parasite in the bloodstream. They do not prevent mosquito bites but significantly reduce the risk of developing malaria if bitten.
Types of Malaria Prevention Tablets We Offer
Malarone (Atovaquone/Proguanil)
- Highly effective and well-tolerated.
- Taken daily, starting 1-2 days before travel, throughout your stay, and for 7 days after leaving the risk area.
- Minimal side effects compared to other malaria tablets.
- Suitable for short trips and last-minute travel.
Atovaquone/Proguanil (Generic Malarone)
- Same active ingredients as Malarone, but a more cost-effective option.
- Works in the same way and follows the same dosage schedule.
Doxycycline
- An antibiotic-based malaria prevention tablet.
- Taken daily, starting 1-2 days before travel, throughout your stay, and for 4 weeks after leaving the malaria area.
- Can also help prevent other infections, such as traveller’s diarrhea and acne.
- More affordable but may cause sun sensitivity and stomach upset.
Lariam (Mefloquine)
- Taken once a week, starting 2-3 weeks before travel, throughout your stay, and for 4 weeks after leaving.
- Suitable for longer trips.
- Not recommended for people with a history of anxiety, depression, or epilepsy, as it can cause psychiatric side effects.
