What is Malaria?

Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. Common symptoms include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. Without quick treatment, malaria can lead to severe complications and death. Malaria is prevalent in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world.

How Do Malaria Tablets Work?

Malaria tablets work by killing the malaria parasites in your body or preventing them from multiplying. These medications are taken before, during, and after travel to malaria-endemic areas to provide continuous protection.

Who Needs Malaria Tablets?

Malaria tablets are recommended for:

  • Travelers to areas where malaria is prevalent such as parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the Middle East.
  • People who live in or frequently visit malaria-endemic regions.
  • Anyone who may be exposed to malaria through their occupation or lifestyle.
