Malarone belongs to a group of medicines called antimalarials. It contains two active ingredients, atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride
Malarone tablets are taken once per day. Treatment starts at short notice (2 days before trip) and stops 1 week after the trip (compared to 4 weeks for other anti-malarials). Malarone is notable for having far fewer side effects than other, older malaria drugs.
To calculate the number of tablets you need please follow the simple equation below to see how many tablets you need to purchase or alternatively email us or contact us via our live chat option to get a colleague to do the calculation for you.
2 + (NUMBER OF DAYS YOU ARE STAYING IN YOUR COUNTRY OF DESTINATION) + 7
Example 1: if you are travelling for 23 days the total number of tablets is calculated as 2 + 23 + 7 = 32
Example 2: if you are travelling for 37 days the total number of tablets is calculated as 2 + 37 + 7 = 46
Malarone has two uses:
▪ to prevent malaria
▪ to treat malaria
How to take Malarone. Malaria is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, which passes the malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) into the bloodstream. Malarone prevents malaria by killing this parasite. For people who are already infected with malaria, Malarone also kills these parasites.
Malarone should be taken once daily with food or a milky drink at about the same time each day. Start taking the tablets one to two days before you enter a malaria risk region and continue until one week after you leave the region.
Occasionally, severe allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis) have been reported in patients taking Malarone. If patients experience an allergic reaction Malarone should be discontinued promptly and appropriate treatment initiated.
Malarone is notable for having far fewer side effects than other, older malaria drugs. While some people experience side effects, such as coughing, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, mouth sores, nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, or weakness, the majority have none or few of these.
250 mg of atovaquone and 100 mg of proguanil hydrochloride in each
