Malarone is a popular anti-malarial tablet used to prevent malaria in patients travelling to high-risk malaria regions of the world. Typically these regions can be found in Africa, South America and Asia. Buy your Malarone online from Travelpharm.
Malarone is a popular malaria prevention tablet that contains the active ingredients Atovaquone/Proguanil hydrochloride. Malarone should be taken daily when travelling in areas of the world where malaria is a problem. Malarone is probably the most effective antimalarial tablet and is generally suitable for sub-Saharan Africa, South America and South-East Asia. It is important to know that no antimalarial tablet is 100% effective and so insect repellents should be used to avoid bites from mosquitoes and other biting insects.
Malarone has one of the easiest schedules of all the antimalarial drugs, so easy that it is usually our first recommendation for all trips due to the simplicity of it.
