What is malaria prevention?
Malaria risk varies by country, region and season. The right tablet depends on where you are going and your medical history.
When to seek medical advice
Speak to a travel clinic, pharmacist or GP at least 4 to 6 weeks before travel. Seek urgent help for fever within 12 months of returning from a malaria area.
Available treatments
Common options include atovaquone/proguanil (Malarone), doxycycline and mefloquine (Lariam). Each has different dosing schedules, side effects and price points.
What to expect
Malarone is taken from 1-2 days before travel until 7 days after. Doxycycline from 1-2 days before until 4 weeks after. Mefloquine from 2-3 weeks before until 4 weeks after.
Self-care
Use DEET-based repellent, sleep under treated mosquito nets, cover arms and legs at dusk, and avoid standing water around accommodation.
