Based on your consultation so far, it looks like treatment for Antimalarial medication may be appropriate

  • We recommend one of the following two medications for Malaria prevention
    • Malarone, also known as Promozio (atovaquone/proguanil) OR
    • Doxycycline
  • Both medications reduce the risk of getting Malaria, when taken correctly
  • If you need more information read our Antimalarial Patient Information Leaflet
  • Malarone or Promozio (Atovaquone/Proguanil) is the more popular choice as it only needs to be taken for 7 days after leaving the malarial zone
  • Doxycycline is cheaper, but it must be taken for 4 weeks after leaving the malarial zone. Side effects such as skin reactions and abdominal pain are relatively common.
  • Qoctor’s first line recommendation is Promozio (the generic form of Malarone).
  • Select a medication from the table below, the number of days or weeks you’ll be staying in the malarial zone, and whether you’d like to order a paper prescription or to have your medication delivered instead.
  • Then we’ll ask some questions to make sure the treatment is safe for you.
  • If you are unsure which medication to choose, please select Promozio and the doctor will review and amend this as necessary during your consultation.
