Malarone (Atovaquone + Proguanil) Tablet 12s (Box)

Malarone Tablet is an antimalarial medication that combines two active ingredients: atovaquone, which disrupts the malaria parasite's energy production, and proguanil hydrochloride, which inhibits its ability to reproduce. If you're preparing for travel to a malaria-risk area or starting treatment, you're probably wondering what to expect—it is taken orally with food or milk to improve absorption, and it should be taken consistently whether it is being used for malaria prevention or treatment. Some people may experience side effects such as nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, or unusual dreams, particularly when first starting the medication. It is important to take Malarone Tablet exactly as prescribed for the full recommended duration, whether for prevention before, during, and after travel or as a short treatment course. Because absorption may be reduced if you experience vomiting or diarrhoea, and the medicine may interact with certain other medications, discuss your travel plans and medical history with your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment.

For malaria prevention in adults weighing more than 40kg, the usual dose is one adult tablet (250mg atovaquone/100mg proguanil) once daily, starting 1 to 2 days before travel, continued throughout your stay in the malaria-risk area, and for 7 days after leaving. For the treatment of acute malaria, the usual adult dose is four tablets once daily for 3 consecutive days. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate dosing regimen based on your individual circumstances, so always follow their instructions.

Take Malarone Tablet with food or a milky drink to help improve absorption, preferably at the same time each day.

• Atovaquone – An antimalarial agent that disrupts the malaria parasite's mitochondrial function.
• Proguanil Hydrochloride – An antimalarial agent that inhibits parasite reproduction.

• Known hypersensitivity to atovaquone, proguanil hydrochloride, or any other ingredient in the formulation
• Severe kidney impairment (creatinine clearance below 30 mL/min), where the medicine is contraindicated for malaria prevention
• Not recommended as monotherapy for mixed P. falciparum and P. vivax infections, as relapse of P. vivax may occur
• Not recommended for the treatment of severe or complicated malaria
• Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be discussed with your doctor, weighing the risks of malaria against the potential risks of the medication
• Use with caution in patients experiencing severe or persistent vomiting or diarrhoea, as absorption of the medicine may be reduced

Proguanil may enhance the effects of warfarin and other coumarin-based anticoagulants, so your doctor may recommend closer monitoring of blood clotting tests if these medicines are used together. Certain medications, including tetracycline, metoclopramide, and rifampicin, may reduce the effectiveness of Malarone Tablet. Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and supplements you are taking before starting treatment to help minimise the risk of drug interactions.
