Malarone is a very reliable tablet that can prevent the contraction of malaria and also treat malaria if it occurs. Taking this tablet is popular amongst people who are travelling to places where malaria is common, including the Americas, Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
Malaria is a serious illness that can be potentially fatal if left untreated. Most commonly, the illness is transmitted through mosquito bites, since the insect can carry the disease for long periods of time. Symptoms of malaria can include vomiting, shivering, fever, joint pain, convulsions and retinal damage.
Malarone is a tablet that can be taken to prevent malaria and also to treat malaria if it is contracted.
For people travelling overseas, particularly to places where malaria is known to be prevalent, catching malaria is a very real possibility. The health risks presented by malaria are serious and, unfortunately, the illness tends to occur in places where immediate and effective treatment is not always readily available.
In clinical studies, Malarone has proven to be 98% effective at preventing infection by the parasite species that is most commonly responsible for malaria. The tablet gives your body the defense it needs against the parasite, minimising the likelihood that you will develop the illness. In addition, this malaria treatment can kill of malaria parasites in the body, helping to cure the disease in the event that it is contracted.
Taking Malarone is an important preventative measure for people who are entering parts of the world with a high rate of malaria infection and a vital treatment for those who show symptoms of the illness.
Malaria is caused by a number of parasites collectively known as Plasmodium. These parasites are carried by mosquitoes throughout their lifetime and, in the event of a mosquito bite, these parasites can be injected into your body. After the parasite has entered the bloodstream, it will reproduce at an astonishing rate and eventually lead to the symptoms of the malaria disease.
Malarone tablets contain two active ingredients called proguanil hydrochloride and atovaquone. Proguanil hydrochloride stops the parasite from reproducing in the body and prevents the illness from taking hold. Meanwhile, atovaquone performs the same function, providing another layer of defense against the development of the disease.
By taking Malarone as prescribed by a doctor, you can make the most of your time in exciting new climates without the fear of experiencing this potentially devastating disease.
Malarone can be offered as a preventative measure to anybody who is travelling to regions where malaria is known to be prevalent, including South America, Asia, and Africa. Whilst there are suitable forms of malaria prevention for people of all ages, these tablets are not usually for use in people who weigh less than 40kg, or children who weigh less than 11kg.
Malarone should not be used by anybody who may be allergic to the active ingredients of the medicine, proguanil hydrochloride and atovaquone or by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. In addition, Malarone is not for use in people who suffer from severely decreased kidney function.
Malarone is usually prescribed in a 250mg/100mg dose, meaning that each tablet contains 250mg of atovaquone and 100mg of proguanil hydrochloride. For adults, the usual dose is one of these tablets daily which should ideally be taken with food for best results.
You should begin taking the tablet two days before you enter the area where malaria is common. You should continue to take your dose as instructed for the duration of your stay, and then for seven additional days when you return.
It is important that the level of this antimalarial medicine in your body is kept consistent for full protection from malaria. You should aim to take the tablet at the same time each day and, in the event that you should vomit within an hour of taking the tablet, you should take another dose immediately.
Many people take Malarone without presenting any side effects, however all medications have the potential to cause additional effects upon the body. The most common side effects that have been reported include headaches, diarrhoea, insomnia, loss of appetite and a cough. In most cases, these side effects disappear as you continue to take the course of treatment. If you are concerned about any of the side effects of Malarone or they persist, contact your doctor.
