Maloff Protect 250mg/100mg - 36 Tablets

Buy Maloff Protect Tablets 

Maloff Protect Tablets are anti-malaria tablets that can help to keep you from catching malaria if you’re travelling to an area with a high risk of disease.

If you’re travelling to a malaria zone and are worried about staying safe from mosquito bites, this product can help you stay safe from malaria for your entire stay and when you return home.

How Maloff Protect Tablets work

Maloff Protect Tablets contain two active ingredients which work as antimalarials: 250mg of atovaquone and 100mg of proguanil hydrochloride. 

These ingredients work together to tackle the plasmodium parasite if it enters your bloodstream, effectively keeping it from giving you malaria.

Directions

Always take Maloff Protect Tablets exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. 

Take one tablet every day, at the same time, starting one or two days before you travel to a malaria zone. Continue taking these tablets for the duration of your stay and then for another seven days after you return to a malaria-free place.

For best results, take each tablet with food or a milky drink to help your body absorb the ingredients.

If you forget to take a dose of Maloff Protect, take your tablet as soon as you remember to and then continue your treatment as you were before. Do not take a double dose to make up for missing a dose, and do not take more than one tablet at a time. 

The only time you should take a second Maloff Protect tablet in one day is if you vomit within an hour of taking your first tablet, as the ingredients will not have entered your system properly within that time.
