Malarone (active ingredients: atovaquone and proguanil) is a prescription medication used to prevent and treat malaria in adults and children. Malaria is a serious infection caused by parasites that are spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes.
Malarone belongs to a class of medications called antimalarials. It works by interfering with the malaria parasite’s ability to survive and multiply in the body.
Malarone is used to help prevent malaria in people traveling to or living in areas where malaria is common. It is effective against Plasmodium falciparum, including certain strains that are resistant to chloroquine.
When used for prevention, Malarone must be taken before, during, and after travel to a malaria-risk area as directed by a healthcare provider.
Malarone is also used to treat acute, uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum in adults and children. “Uncomplicated” means the infection has not caused severe symptoms or serious organ complications.
Malarone contains two antimalarial medicines that work together:
Atovaquone interferes with the parasite’s energy production, making it harder for the parasite to survive.
Proguanil affects the parasite’s ability to grow and multiply.
Together, these ingredients help prevent malaria infection and treat certain malaria infections caused by Plasmodium falciparum.
Malarone comes as an oral tablet that is taken by mouth. It should be taken with food or a milky drink that contains fat, such as whole milk or a milkshake. Taking Malarone with food helps your body absorb the medication properly and may reduce stomach upset.
If you vomit within 1 hour of taking Malarone, the dose should be repeated. If vomiting continues, contact your healthcare provider. You may need medicine to help prevent vomiting or a different malaria medication.
Malarone tablets should usually be swallowed whole. The tablet has a bitter taste, so it should not be chewed.
If you have trouble swallowing tablets, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist what to do. In some cases, the tablet may be crushed and mixed with condensed milk, then taken right away.
Malarone comes in two tablet strengths:
The correct dose of Malarone depends on several factors, including whether it is being used to prevent malaria or treat malaria, as well as the patient’s age, body weight, and medical condition.
Always follow your healthcare provider’s dosing instructions carefully. Do not take more or less than prescribed, and complete the full course of treatment or prevention as directed.
Malarone (Atovaquone/Proguanil) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Take Malarone exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not skip doses or stop taking it early, especially when using it to prevent malaria. Missing doses can reduce protection and may increase the risk of infection.
Malarone can interact with other medications, which may affect how well it works or increase the risk of side effects. Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements you are taking before starting Malarone.
Important interactions may include certain antibiotics, anticonvulsants, rifampin or rifabutin, tetracycline, metoclopramide, and blood thinners such as warfarin. Some herbal supplements, such as St. John’s wort, may also affect how medications work, so ask your healthcare provider before taking supplements with Malarone.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney or liver disease before taking Malarone. Malarone may not be appropriate for malaria prevention in people with severe kidney impairment. Your provider will decide whether Malarone is safe for you based on your kidney function, liver function, and reason for treatment.
Malarone may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, abdominal cramps, or diarrhea. These side effects are often mild, but they should be discussed with your healthcare provider if they are severe, persistent, or worsening.
Contact your healthcare provider right away if you develop signs of a serious reaction, such as severe rash, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, severe abdominal pain, or ongoing vomiting.
Do not take Malarone if you have had an allergic reaction to atovaquone, proguanil, or any ingredient in the medication. Seek emergency medical attention if you develop symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling of the face or throat, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Malarone. Your provider will weigh the benefits and risks and may recommend a different malaria medication depending on your destination, malaria risk, and health history.
Malarone helps reduce the risk of malaria, but it may not prevent every case. You should also use mosquito prevention measures, such as insect repellent, long sleeves and pants, insecticide-treated bed nets, and staying in screened or air-conditioned areas when possible.
There is no known direct interaction between Malarone and alcohol. However, it is best to avoid excessive alcohol while taking any medication. Alcohol may worsen side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, dizziness, or headache, which can also occur with Malarone.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Malarone. Malarone may not be suitable for everyone during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and your provider will weigh the benefits and risks based on your health, travel destination, and malaria exposure risk.
If you miss a dose of Malarone, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. If you miss doses while using Malarone to prevent malaria, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for advice, as missed doses may reduce protection.
No. Malarone can greatly reduce the risk of malaria when taken correctly, but no malaria prevention medication is guaranteed to prevent every case. Your risk can depend on where you travel, mosquito exposure, local malaria resistance patterns, missed doses, vomiting after a dose, and whether mosquito prevention measures are used. To lower your risk, take Malarone exactly as prescribed and also use mosquito protection, such as insect repellent, protective clothing, window screens, and insecticide-treated bed nets.
