Malaria tablet dosing
Some destinations also need antimalarial tablets. Tell us who it's for to see the usual dose for each tablet type. The right tablet depends on where you're travelling — we'll confirm everything at your appointment.
Atovaquone 250mg / Proguanil 100mg (adult tablet)
Daily, from 1—2 days before entering the risk area until 7 days after leaving.
Mefloquine 250mg
Weekly, from 2—3 weeks before entering the risk area until 4 weeks after leaving.
The SPC allows use over 5kg, so ¼ tablet may be advised for children 5—9.9kg.
Chloroquine base 155mg
Weekly, from 1 week before entering the risk area until 4 weeks after leaving.
Chloroquine is not effective in areas with significant drug-resistant malaria — check it is recommended for your destination.
Doxycycline 100mg
Daily, from 1—2 days before entering the risk area until 4 weeks after leaving.
Doxycycline is unsuitable for children under 12 years, whatever their weight.

What Our Patients Say
from 60+ Google reviews
“I could not recommend the clinic enough. Seen for a consultation the same day whereas over a week's wait to attend Boots. No fee for a consultation. Thorough discussion over vaccines required and an action plan was put in place. Prices are competitive. Will never go anywhere else.”
Rachel Hewitt · Verified Google review
“Very helpful and friendly pharmacist was able to advise and prescribe suitable antimalarials for a forthcoming trip. Being able to get an appointment at short notice and on a Sunday was really useful for us. The staff we spoke to were all very friendly and professional. Many thanks for a great service today!”
Finch Family · Verified Google review
“I was panicking that I wouldn't get my jabs done on time for my holiday to Vietnam, but the Travel Centre fitted me in quickly. The service was thorough and efficient, and the aftercare information is also really useful. Most impressed!”
