Question 4

What is Malarone used for?

Accepted Answer

Malarone is a branded antimalarial medicine used primarily to prevent infection when visiting countries where malaria is endemic. It is specifically effective against the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. It is also used in higher doses to treat acute, uncomplicated cases of malaria.

Question 5

What are the active ingredients in Malarone?

Accepted Answer

The active ingredients in each adult Malarone tablet are 250mg of atovaquone and 100mg of proguanil hydrochloride. These work synergistically to stop the malaria parasite from reproducing in the body.

Question 6

How does Malarone work?

Accepted Answer

Malarone works by killing the malaria parasites that enter the bloodstream and liver after an infected mosquito bite. The combination of atovaquone and proguanil ensures that the infection cannot take hold or spread within the body's red blood cells.

Question 7

How do I use Malarone?

Accepted Answer

Take Malarone at the same time every day with a meal or a milky drink to ensure maximum absorption. If you are sick within one hour of taking a tablet, you must take another dose immediately.

Question 8

What is the Malarone dosage for adults?

Accepted Answer

For malaria prevention in adults, take one tablet daily, starting one to two days before entering the malaria-risk area, during your stay, and for exactly seven days after you leave. For treating active malaria, the dose is usually four tablets taken once daily for three consecutive days.

Question 9

What are the side effects of Malarone?

Accepted Answer

Common side effects may include headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, stomach pain, diarrhoea, strange dreams, difficulty sleeping, and loss of appetite.

Question 10

How does Malarone compare to Doxycycline?

Accepted Answer

Malarone only requires a 7-day post-travel course and does not typically cause sun sensitivity. Doxycycline requires 28 days of tablets after returning and can cause sun sensitivity. Both are started 1-2 days before travel.

Question 11

Can I get Malarone on the NHS?

Accepted Answer

Malarone is usually not available on a standard NHS prescription for travel purposes and is typically provided as a private prescription. You will need to pay the full cost of the medication.

Question 12

What should I do if I miss a dose?

Accepted Answer

If you forget to take your daily tablet, take it as soon as you remember and then continue with your next dose at the usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Question 13

Is Malarone suitable for children?

Accepted Answer

Malarone adult tablets are suitable for children weighing over 40kg. For children weighing less than this, a specific 'pediatric' strength is required, which contains a lower dose of the active ingredients.
