What is Malarone, and what does this medicine do?
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.
