Current Medications

Important safety advice:I understand atovaquone/proguanil should be taken exactly as prescribed for malaria prevention.I understand I should start it 1–2 days before entering a malaria-risk area, take it daily while there, and continue for 7 days after leaving.I understand I should take it with food or a milky drink to help absorption.I understand if I vomit within 1 hour of taking a dose, I may need to take another dose and should follow the patient leaflet or seek advice.I understand atovaquone/proguanil may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, headache, mouth ulcers, dizziness or sleep disturbance.I understand I should seek advice if I develop persistent vomiting or diarrhoea, as this may reduce protection against malaria.I understand I should seek urgent advice if I develop rash, facial/lip/tongue swelling, breathing difficulty, severe skin reaction, yellowing of the skin/eyes, dark urine, severe abdominal pain, or signs of an allergic reaction.I understand no malaria tablet is 100% effective, so I should still use bite prevention, including repellent, covering skin, and mosquito nets where appropriate.I understand I should seek urgent medical advice if I develop fever, flu-like symptoms, chills, sweats, headache or unexplained illness during travel or after returning, as this could be malaria. *
