Malaria tablets

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
1 adult tablet (250mg/100mg) daily

Daily, from 1—2 days before entering the risk area until 7 days after leaving.

Mefloquine 250mg

Weekly
1 adult tablet weekly

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.

2 adult tablets weekly

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.
