Malarone 250/100mg Atovaquone/Proguanil Tablet

Malarone (Atovaquone/Proguanil) 250/100mg contains 2 medicines: atovaquone and proguanil. Malarone (Atovaquone/Proguanil) 250/100mg is used to prevent and treat malaria caused by mosquito bites in countries where malaria is common. Malaria parasites can enter the body through these mosquito bites, and then live in body tissues such as red blood cells or the liver. Malarone (Atovaquone/Proguanil) 250/100mg is used to kill the malaria parasites living inside red blood cells and other tissues. In some cases, you may need to take a different medication (such as primaquine) to complete your treatment. Both medications may be needed for a complete cure and to prevent the return of infection (relapse). Atovaquone/proguanil belongs to a class of drugs known as antimalarials.

The United States Centers for Disease Control provide updated guidelines and travel recommendations for the prevention and treatment of malaria in different parts of the world. Discuss the most recent information with your doctor before traveling to areas where malaria occurs.
