About Malaria Prevention

Malaria is caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. Travellers to endemic areas are at risk, and preventive measures are crucial to avoid infection. Malaria prevention typically involves taking prophylactic medication before, during, and after travel, combined with protective measures such as insect repellent, bed nets, and covering clothing.

Consulting a prescriber ensures the most suitable prophylactic treatment is selected based on your travel destination, medical history, and any other medications you may be taking.
