Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need malaria tablets for every trip?
No, malaria prevention depends on where you are travelling, how long you are staying, and the type of activities you will be doing. Our pharmacist will assess your travel plans and advise clearly.
When should I start taking malaria tablets?
This depends on the type of tablet recommended. Some need to be started a few days before travel, while others may need to be started earlier. We’ll explain the correct schedule for your treatment.
Can malaria tablets cause side effects?
Some people may experience side effects such as nausea, stomach upset, headache, or vivid dreams, depending on the medication. Our pharmacist will explain what to expect and what to do if side effects occur.
Do I still need to avoid mosquito bites?
Yes. Malaria tablets reduce your risk, but they do not provide complete protection. You should also use insect repellent, wear suitable clothing, and sleep in screened or air-conditioned rooms where possible.
