Vaccine course: 2 doses last up to 2 years 

Schedule: days 0 and 7 (oral medication taken 1 week apart) 

Diptheria, Tetanus and Polio Booster only | £50 per dose

• Only required if your last diphtheria, tetanus and polio vaccination dose was more than 10 years ago
• Or you did not finish the course of vaccinations for primary protection

• Travellers must be vaccinated at least two weeks before travel for shorter-term protection for single trip
• A booster should be taken within 6-12 months of the first vaccine for long-term protection

Malaria Prevention | £27 per box (12 tablets)

Malaria is a serious parasite infection that is transmitted by the bite of female mosquitoes. The parasites are microscopic and found in the blood of infected people. There are different types of malaria parasite although the infection they cause is similar. ‘Falciparum’ malaria causes the most severe infection. 

Antimalarial tablets must always be used alongside mosquito bite prevention. These two measures together give you the best protection from malaria. However, rarely infection from malaria can still occur.  

Atovaquone with Proguanil Atovaquone with Proguanil is the generic form of Malarone. It is more cost-effective than Malarone, but has the same active ingredients and works in the same way to protect you against malaria.

Preparation

• The tablets contain 250mg atovaquone, and 100mg proguanil hydrochloride and are all licensed in the UK for malaria chemoprophylaxis.
  Atovaquone/Proguanil 250 mg/100 mg film-coated tablets

How to take the medicine
The course should be started 1 or 2 days before entering a country with a risk of malaria; taken daily for the entire duration of your stay; and continued for 7 days after leaving the affected area.

• The tablets should be taken with food at the same time each day:
  • If you miss a dose or vomit within one hour of taking your tablets, you should take another dose as soon as possible and carry on with the schedule (you may have to get more tablets).
  • If you have diarrhoea, you should continue taking your tablets as normal. The amount of drug absorbed into your bloodstream might be reduced in this instance, therefore you should be extra careful in protecting yourself from bites.
  • It is very important to complete the course.
  • Evidence has shown this medication can be safely used continuously for periods of up to 1 year (and possibly longer).
