Antimalarial Treatment Online Consultation

Malaria is is a medical condition caused as a result of being bitten by an infected mosquito. It can take just 1 bite to get it.

The infection is very common in certain parts of the world.

It's found in tropical regions, including:

  • Large areas of Africa and Asia
  • Central and South America
  • Dominican Republic and Haiti
  • Parts of the Middle East
  • Some Pacific islands

Symptoms of Malaria 

Malaria symptoms usually appear 10 to 15 days after an infected mosquito bites you.

The most common signs are:

  • High fever
  • Chills and shivering
  • Sweating
  • Headache
  • Body aches
  • Fatigue
  • Nausea and vomiting

Some people may also have:

  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Cough

Malaria symptoms can be similar to flu symptoms at first, but if not treated quickly, it can become very serious and even life-threatening. If you’ve been to a country where malaria is common and you start feeling these symptoms, it’s important to see a doctor right away.

How to Avoid Malaria

Taking antimalaria medications usually a few days before travel, whilst you are in the malaria zone and for a few days or weeks after.  

Using insect repellent on your skin – make sure it's 50% DEET-based.

Sleeping under mosquito nets treated with insecticide.

Wearing long-sleeved clothing and trousers to cover your arms and legs in the evening, when mosquitos are most active.

At Be Online Pharmacy we have a range of effective antimalaria treatments to suit your preference.

Why do I Need to Take Anti Malaria Tablets?

Taking antimalarial tablets is very important if you’re travelling to places where malaria is common. These tablets help protect you from getting sick with malaria and work by stopping the malaria parasites from growing in your body if you get bitten by an infected mosquito.

Even though you might use mosquito sprays and nets, these aren’t always enough to keep you completely safe. Anti-malaria tablets give you extra protection and can prevent you from getting malaria or make the illness not as bad if you do catch it.
