Malarone tablets are a highly effective medication used to prevent malaria. Malaria kills up to a million people per year and is caused by a microscopic parasite spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Once bitten, the first signs of illness such as headache and fever will start to manifest after at least 8 days but sometimes months or even years later. Malarone tablets offer up to 98% protection against the worst strains of the malaria parasite as well as a convenient dosage regime and a very good side effect profile.

Directions

Malarone tablets should be taken daily after food at about the same time every day. They should be started one day before entering the malaria risk zone, continued whilst at risk and for an additional 7 days after leaving the risk area.
