What is Malarone?

Malarone is an antimalarial that is clinically proven to prevent and treat malaria.

It is an excellent option if you are travelling to an area resistant to malaria tablet Chloroquine. This includes countries in Africa, Oceania and South America.

It works by preventing the growth of the malaria parasite, which stops and kills the infection.

You take one tablet once daily to prevent infection and is available in multiple pack sizes online at euroClinix.

Is atovaquone the same as Malarone?

Atovaquone is one of the two active ingredients in Malarone alongside Proganuil. You can buy a generic version of Malarone containing those two ingredients.

Atovaquone, on its own, is prescribed to treat other types of infections.

How does Malarone work?

Malaria is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. The parasite enters the bloodstream and causes malaria symptoms.

Malarone contains two active ingredients: atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride. These ingredients work together to prevent the parasite from spreading.

They interfere with parasite growth in the red blood cells and liver. This stops symptoms in their tracks and prevents infections from ever occurring.

What are the benefits?

The main benefit of Malarone malaria tablets is that they protect you against one of the most harmful parasitic diseases in the world.

With a single daily dose, you will benefit from comprehensive protection against all forms of the infection, even in areas where the parasite has become immune to other antimalarials (e.g. quinine).

You also do not need to take it for as long as other antimalarials once you're in a malaria-free area.

How do I take Malarone malaria tablets?

Take malaria tablets exactly as prescribed to ensure it's effective. Your Malarone dosage will depend on whether you are preventing or treating malaria.

To prevent malaria:

  • take one Malarone tablet once daily
  • start taking it 1-2 days before leaving for your destination
  • continue taking it for 7 days once you return to a malaria-free area
  • if you are sick within 1 hour of taking a tablet, take another dose straight away

To treat malaria:

  • take 4 tablets once a day for 3 days

Take each tablet with food or a milky drink, where possible. This will increase the effectiveness of Malarone.

You must take the complete course of Malarone to prevent the risk of infection. It takes 7 days to be certain any parasites are not in the bloodstream.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take extra tablets to make up for it.

If you take too many tablets, consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

As well as taking medication, you must also take other measures to prevent malaria. This includes using insect repellants and mosquito nets.

Can you crush Malarone malaria tablets?

Yes, you may crush tablets and mix them with a small amount of soft food or a milky drink (e.g. yoghurt, honey or jam).

Does Malarone expire?

Yes, Malarone tablets can expire. The expiry date is printed on the outside of the box. You should not take tablets after the expiry date. This is because it may be ineffective or cause side effects.
