Tablets taken once per day. Treatment starts at short notice (2 days before trip) and stops 1 week after the trip (compared to 4 weeks for other anti-malarials). Malarone is notable for having far fewer side effects than other, older malaria drugs.
The benefits of this medicine in comparison to other anti malarials are the side effect profile (fewer side effects), and the fact these tablets need to be taken for a shorter period of time after leaving.
