How to buy atovaquone/proguanil or malarone

-

 

Always take preventative steps to avoid mosquito bites in addition to antimalarial medications. The best defence against malaria is provided by these two procedures taken simultaneously. Malaria infection is still a rare possibility, though. In areas of the world where malaria is an endemic disease, taking antimalarial treatment is essential. Additionally, various medications are needed in different areas to be effective. Atovaquone/Proguanil is the antimalarial that is most frequently used, although we frequently get questions about how it differs from Malarone, which may also be advised. 

Patients who are travelling to regions of the world where malaria is a concern can use the anti-malaria medication atovaquone/proguanil, often known as generic Malarone, to help prevent malaria infection. Usually, this encompasses sub-Saharan Africa, sections of Asia, and South America. While wearing an appropriate insect repellent will help you avoid insect bites, this medication is among the most effective antimalarials now on the market. 

Atovaquone/proguanil vs. Malarone: differences

Simply told, nothing is different! Malarone is a commercial name, although the generic name of the drug combination used to make both variants of the antimalarial is Atovaquone/Proguanil. Since Atovaquone/exclusive Proguanil's licence to be sold as Malarone has ended, other pharmaceutical companies are now able to produce the drug under its generic designations. Because it contains the same components but a different brand, we frequently refer to the combination of atovaquone and proguanil as generic malarone.

How many should I order for my trip?

Make sure this product is appropriate for the destination you are visiting first. Our suggestion is NHS FitForTravel. If it is appropriate, we have developed a straightforward malarone tablet calculator to assist you in determining how many you need. Simply click the calculate button after entering the number of people and kids who weigh more than 40 kg, the number of days you have spent in the malaria-risk country, and the number of extra tablets you have (if any). The rest can be handled by our simple generic Malarone pill calculator.

Simply increase the quantity on this product page to the calculated number of tablets and select "free online consultation" after you know how many you need.

Malarone Side Effects

Atovaquone, proguanil, and generic Malarone pills are often well tolerated, and users experience very few adverse effects. However, the following side effects are categorised as very common, affecting roughly 1 in 10 patient’s headaches, diarrhoea, and upset stomach. The patient information leaflet should be read for more details as this list of adverse effects is not complete.

 Which should I pick between malarone and atovaquone/proguanil?

Really, it's up to you. Malarone is preferred by certain people because they've taken it before and it's effective for them. Others use Atovaquone/Proguanil since it is less expensive. Both the generic and the branded versions are combination pills that you take once day, and they both follow the same regimen.

No malaria medicine, regardless of the one you select, will completely prevent you from the disease. You must continue using mosquito nets and DEET insect repellents, and you must cover up at twilight when mosquitoes are most active.

In sheer numbers, malaria kills 3,000 children per day under the age of five. The total number of deaths readily exceeds that from AIDS. After Tuberculosis, Malaria is easily the world's largest parasitic disease, killing more and more people every day. As we know, Malaria is one of the oldest pathogens which is posing a threat to the human population since the birth of the agriculture.
