Side effects: May include nausea, stomach upset, headache, or mild dizziness. These effects are usually short lived.
Additional precautions: Alongside medication, preventing mosquito bites is essential. Use repellents, wear long sleeves, and sleep under mosquito nets in high-risk areas.
Before your appointment: Take Malarone with food or a milky drink to improve absorption and reduce stomach discomfort. Inform the clinician of any existing health conditions or medications.
Risks caused by malaria: Can cause high fever, chills, severe fatigue, and in severe cases, organ failure. Without prevention, malaria can be life-threatening.
