How do Anti-malaria tablets Works?

Quinine, chloroquine, amodiaquine, pyrimethamine, sulfadoxine, mefloquine, primaquine, artemisinin and their derivatives, proguanil, halofantrine, doxycycline, and clindamycin are all drugs that are used alone or in different combinations to treat or prevent malaria.

Halofantrine (marketed under various trade names as a medium) is widely used in many places to treat malaria. It is not used to prevent malaria due to the risk of toxicity and reliable absorption.

Recently, strains of malaria resistant to all known drugs, including artemisinin and its derivatives, have been identified along the Thai / Myanmar (Burma) border. If you want to buy Antimalarial Treatment Online in the UK such as Doxycycline, Lariam or Malarone Tablets.

For the prevention of malaria, while travelling in a malarial area, the most commonly recommended medications are Malarone (atovaquone/proguanil) or doxycycline. However, it is important to note that different strains of malaria occur in different parts of the world and the type of medicine prescribed should match the part of the world they are visiting. No antimalarial drug is 100% efficient and should be combined with the use of personal protective measures such as insect repellants, long sleeves, long pants, sleeping in a mosquito-free environment or using an insecticide-covered mosquito net.

Malarone
It is the trade name for atovaquone and proguanil. It is effective for all parts of the world. The adult dose is generally one tablet daily, starting one or two days before travelling to an area that contains malaria. Dosing should continue throughout the stay and then for another 7 days after leaving the area with malaria. The dose for a child is generally prescribed according to their body weight. Users should consult with their physician. Malarone must be taken with a fatty meal or milk for it to be properly absorbed.

Malarone is generally the option for short trips to areas with malaria because it generally produces far fewer side effects than other malaria drugs. Some people may experience side effects such as coughing, headache, loss of appetite, mouth sores, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhoea, vomiting, weakness, and dizziness.

Doxycycline
Doxycycline is an antibiotic that prevents the development of parasites in the blood that cause malaria.

To prevent malaria, the recommended dose of doxycycline is 1 to 2 days before travelling to an area where malaria is present, daily while in that area, and current for 4 weeks after leaving the area. It is best to take the tablets with food. Doxycycline is often cheaper than Malarone and for this reason; it can be prescribed for long trips in a malaria-endemic area.

Doxycycline side effects may include anorexia, nausea, diarrhoea, yeast infection, sore tongue (glossitis), headaches, blurred vision, or ringing. The side effect of erythema (sunburn) due to photosensitivity to sunlight is especially important for those intending to use long-term for the prevention of malaria. These tablets are perfect to counteract the effects of Malaria parasites.
