Medication details

Description

Malarone is a prescription medication used to prevent and treat malaria. Malaria is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease that is spread by the bite of infected mosquitoes.

Malarone contains a combination of two active ingredients, atovaquone, and proguanil, that work together to kill the malaria parasites in your blood. It is most effective when taken before, during, and after exposure to the disease, and is considered one of the most effective antimalarial medications available.

This medication is well-tolerated by most people, and its side effects are generally mild and short-lived. Common side effects may include nausea, headache, and abdominal pain. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should seek medical attention immediately.

If you are traveling to an area where malaria is common, talk to your doctor about whether Malarone is right for you. This medication can provide peace of mind and protection against a serious and potentially life-threatening disease.
