Common Questions
It depends on where you’re traveling, the time of year, and your specific itinerary. Malaria risk varies significantly even within the same country. Our clinicians will review your exact destinations, accommodation type, and travel dates to determine if antimalarials are recommended and which type is most suitable for you.
This varies by medication type. Some tablets start 1-2 days before travel and continue for 7 days after return, while others start 1-3 weeks before and continue for 4 weeks after. We’ll provide you with a clear written schedule tailored to your trip dates.
Side effects vary by medication but may include mild nausea, headache, vivid dreams, or sun sensitivity. Most people tolerate antimalarials well.
No medication offers complete protection, which is why we also advise on bite prevention measures. However, when taken correctly, antimalarials significantly reduce your risk. Combining tablets with insect repellent, appropriate clothing, and mosquito nets provides the best protection.
Some antimalarials are safe during pregnancy while others aren’t recommended. We’ll discuss your specific situation during consultation.
