Description

What is Atovaquone/Proguanil?
Atovaquone/Proguanil is the generic version of Malarone, an anti-malarial medication. It contains two active ingredients—Atovaquone and Proguanil—used to prevent malaria caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite, particularly in areas where other anti-malarial drugs may not be as effective.

 

How is it different from Malarone?
The main difference between generic Atovaquone/Proguanil and Malarone is the price. While both contain the same active ingredients and are equally effective, the generic version is typically more affordable. Generic medications are required to demonstrate the same level of effectiveness as their branded counterparts before being approved for sale.

 

How does this treatment work?
Atovaquone/Proguanil works by targeting the malaria parasite in the bloodstream. When a mosquito infected with the parasite bites a person, the medication kills the parasite before it can multiply and spread, preventing malaria from developing.

 

How do I use Atovaquone/Proguanil?
For effective malaria prevention, take one tablet daily, starting 1-2 days before traveling to an area where malaria is prevalent. Continue the treatment throughout your stay and for at least one week after returning from the malaria risk area. Be sure to take the tablet with food to improve absorption and complete the full course of treatment to ensure all parasites are eliminated.
