Find your treatment

Malaria is a disease found in many areas of the world, including Sub-Saharan Africa, South America and India. It is caused by the plasmodium parasite and transmitted via mosquito bite.

Symptoms of malaria include:

  • Fever
  • Muscle aches
  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Vomiting - but it can lead to fatal complications if untreated.

Malaria can lead to fatal complications if it is untreated, therefore it is advised to get on a treatment for it before traveling to a high risk place of contracting malaria. Malarone, Lariam and Doxycycline are all effective anti-malaria treatments that we offer.

As a trusted and UK registered online pharmacy, all treatments we prescribe are approved by the Medicine and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). See our wide range of treatments below.

Anti-Malaria Treatments: What to Expect?

Straightforward answers to frequently asked questions.

 

What is Lariam, Malarone or Doxycycline and what is it used for?

Choosing an antimalarial treatment depends on your preferences and the antimalarial drug resistance present at your destination.

Lariam

  • An antimalarial medicine used to treat and prevent the development of the malarial parasite P. falciparum in areas with antimalarial drug resistance.
  • It contains the active substance Mefloquine hydrochloride at a dose of 250mg.

Malarone

  • Only needs to be taken for one week after leaving the affected area.
  • Has less side effects.

Doxycycline

  • Needs to be taken for another 4 weeks after leaving.
  • Doxycycline is cheaper.
  • Doxycycline can decrease the efficacy of the contraceptive pill.

How does it work?

When an infected mosquito bites a person, it passes the malarial parasite P. falciparum onto its human target.

The choice of antimalarial drug depends on the sensitivity of the malaria parasite in your destination area. We offer a range of medications such as Lariam, Malarone and Doxycycline.

Do I need a prescription from my GP for these treatments?

There are several treatment options available for anti-malaria. Some treatments may require a prescription from your GP. You can read through our product FAQs for more information. We recommend reaching out to us or consult your GP if you are unsure.
