Start Medical Assesment
Malaria is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease caused by parasites transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. It causes symptoms such as fever, chills, muscle aches, vomiting, and in severe cases, organ failure.
Malaria is not found in the UK but is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South America. Travellers to these areas are at risk without proper preventative measures.
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, transmitted via the bite of Anopheles mosquitoes. Once inside the body, the parasites multiply in the liver and infect red blood cells, leading to the symptoms of the disease.
Press Pharmacy offers antimalarial tablets such as Atovaquone/Proguanil (Malarone), Doxycycline, and Mefloquine (Lariam). These are taken before, during, and after travel to high-risk areas to prevent infection. The choice depends on your destination, medical history, and personal preference.
Side effects vary by medication. Malarone may cause stomach upset, headaches, or vivid dreams. Doxycycline can cause sun sensitivity and gastrointestinal discomfort. Mefloquine may cause sleep disturbances or mood changes. Always read the leaflet and complete the full course as prescribed.
Press Pharmacy makes travel health easy with expert-approved antimalarial medication delivered to your door. Complete a quick online consultation and receive personalised advice and prescriptions tailored to your destination and travel dates.
