Malarone Malaria Tablets for Travel Protection

 

You can protect yourself against malaria when travelling to high-risk areas with Malarone and generic Malarone tablets. These prescription medicines contain two active ingredients that work together to prevent malaria infection caused by Plasmodium falciparum, the most dangerous form of malaria parasite.

Malarone is suitable for both adults and children weighing over 40kg, making it a convenient choice for family travel. The tablets are taken once daily, starting before you travel and continuing after your return. This medication is particularly effective in areas where other antimalarial drugs may be less reliable due to resistance patterns.

 

How Malarone Prevents Malaria Infection

 

The two active ingredients in Malarone work by targeting different stages of the malaria parasite's life cycle. One component prevents the parasite from reproducing in your liver cells, whilst the other stops it from developing in your red blood cells. This dual action provides comprehensive protection against malaria transmission.

When you take malarone malaria tablets as prescribed, they maintain protective levels in your bloodstream throughout your trip. The medication continues working even after you return home, eliminating any parasites that may have entered your system during the final days of travel.

 

Who Should Consider Malarone for Travel

 

Malarone is recommended for travellers visiting malaria-endemic regions, particularly areas with chloroquine-resistant strains. Your doctor will assess your destination, travel duration, and medical history to determine if this medication suits your needs. Many travellers prefer Malarone because it requires fewer tablets and has a shorter post-travel dosing period compared to some alternatives.

  • Adults and children weighing 40kg or more
  • Travellers to areas with drug-resistant malaria strains
  • People who prefer once-daily dosing convenience
  • Those planning short to medium-term travel periods

Before starting treatment, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions or medications you're taking. This is particularly important if you have kidney problems or are taking other antimalarial drugs. For comprehensive travel health advice, you may also want to explore our travel health collection for additional protective measures.

 

Why Choose Malarone Over Other Options

 

Malarone offers several advantages that make it a popular choice among travellers and healthcare providers. Unlike some antimalarial medications that require weekly dosing, Malarone's once-daily schedule is easier to remember and maintain during travel. The medication also has a shorter post-travel treatment period, requiring only seven days of continued use after leaving the malaria zone.

The side effect profile of Malarone is generally well-tolerated by most people, with fewer reports of vivid dreams or mood changes compared to some alternative antimalarial drugs. This makes it particularly suitable for business travellers or those who need to maintain normal sleep patterns during their trip.

 

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

 

Your doctor will evaluate your medical history and travel itinerary to ensure Malarone is clinically appropriate for your situation. The medication is generally well-suited for most healthy adults and children, though certain medical conditions may require alternative treatments or additional monitoring.

Store your Malarone tablets in their original packaging at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep them in a secure location during travel and ensure you have sufficient supplies for your entire trip, including any potential delays. Always carry your medication in hand luggage when flying to prevent loss or temperature damage in checked baggage.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

 

How to Take Malarone Tablets Correctly

You should start taking Malarone one to two days before entering the malaria area. Take one tablet at the same time each day with food or a milky drink to improve absorption and reduce the chance of stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole with water - do not crush or chew it.

Continue taking your daily tablet throughout your stay in the malaria zone. Maintain this routine even if you feel unwell or experience minor side effects, as consistent dosing is essential for protection. If you vomit within one hour of taking a tablet, take another dose as the medication may not have been absorbed properly.

Completing Your Course After Travel

After leaving the malaria area, you must continue taking Malarone for exactly seven more days. This post-travel period is crucial as it eliminates any parasites that may have entered your system during the final days of your trip. Mark your calendar to ensure you complete the full course, as stopping early can leave you vulnerable to infection.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, then continue with your normal schedule. Do not take two tablets together to make up for a forgotten dose. If you have concerns about missed doses or timing, contact your pharmacist or doctor for guidance.

Understanding Malarone Side Effects

Like all medicines, Malarone can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most people tolerate this medication well, and any side effects that do occur are typically mild and resolve once treatment is completed. If you're planning travel and need additional health support, consider browsing our sickness and nausea collection for complementary travel remedies.

The most commonly reported side effects include stomach upset, headache, and dizziness. These effects are usually temporary and can often be minimised by taking the tablets with food as recommended.

  • Nausea and stomach discomfort
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Loss of appetite
  • Diarrhoea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Cough
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Vivid dreams
  • Mouth ulcers
  • Hair loss (rare, usually reversible)

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
