What Is the Best Medicine for Malaria Treatment?

Besides supportive care, the medical team needs to decide on the appropriate Malaria medication to treat malaria. The choice for the Malaria treatment will depend on several factors which areas listed below:

●     The specific species of parasite that is responsible for malaria.

●     What also needs to be taken into notice is the severity of symptoms and the determination of drug resistance based on the geographic area where the patient resides or has travelled.

●     Physicians will administer the best malaria tablets. The doctors can either opt for the pill form or the intravenous antimalarial depending on the above factors.

The most commonly used Antimalarial drugs are:

●     chloroquine (Aralen),

●     doxycycline (Vibramycin, Oracea, Adoxa, Atridox),

●     quinine (Qualaquin),

●     atovaquone/proguanil (Malarone), Generic Malarone.

●     mefloquine (Lariam), artemether/lumefantrine (Coartem), and

●     primaquine phosphate (Primaquine)

Rather than the malarial drugs, perhaps the best medicine is prevention as no medication is 100% effective. At this, it becomes immensely important to therefore prevent mosquito bites as they are the sole reason that promotes the spreading of malaria through the whole mankind. This step is of paramount importance while battling the spread of malaria. The prevention of malaria includes various steps. These preventive measures should include the following:

●     Sleeping under bed nets: These should cover all of the bed down to the end of the bed. Also, these nets can be used in combination with an insecticide which makes them the most effective way of protecting yourself against mosquitoes.

●     Clothing: Clothing that covers most of the exposed skin is a great option. Also, opt for shoes that are closed. This in turn reduces the risk of mosquito bites and exposure to malaria. Tuck in all clothing, to prevent any sort of exposure when you are in highly susceptible areas. Also, treating clothes with insecticides or mosquito repellent sprays can prevent bites even further.
