How do Malarone malaria tablets work?

Malarone coated tablets contain the drugs atovaquone and proguanil. They are used in malaria prophylaxis, but also as a stand-by therapy. This drug combination is recommended especially for areas where resistances to malaria drugs have already been reported. The unique ingredient combination enables the use of the drug for malaria prophylaxis as well as for the treatment of malaria symptoms.

Using Malarone for the treatment of malaria

Two days before you plan to travel, you start taking Malarone tablets once a day. You keep taking a tablet a day for a long as you are travelling and you continue until one week after you have arrived back home or in a country not at risk of Malaria. One of the reasons Malarone is a drug of choice for many travellers is that you only have to take it for a limited time. When you plan to stay in a country with a risk of malaria for over 12 weeks, please consult your physician about long term use.
