About This Condition

Malaria Prevention

Malaria is a life-threatening disease transmitted through mosquito bites in certain regions around the world. Without proper protection, malaria can lead to severe illness and serious complications.

To reduce the risk of infection, travellers to high-risk malaria areas are advised to take malaria prevention tablets before, during, and after their trip. A healthcare professional can recommend the most suitable antimalarial medication based on your destination, trip length, and medical history.

One of the most commonly prescribed malaria tablets is Malarone (Atovaquone and Proguanil). Malarone is an effective and well-tolerated option for malaria prevention. It is taken once daily, starting a few days before travel, continued throughout the trip, and for a short period after returning home.

Doxycycline is a popular choice for malaria prevention, especially for long-term travellers. It works by stopping the malaria parasite from multiplying in the blood and is often recommended because it is both effective and cost-efficient.

Like other malaria tablets, doxycycline can cause some mild side effects such as nausea, headaches, or stomach discomfort. These usually go away on their own, but if they continue, a different malaria tablet may be more suitable.

Ordering malaria prevention treatment online is simple and discreet. Prescriptions are reviewed by licensed prescribers, and with fast UK delivery, you can be prepared for your trip with minimal hassle.
