Overview
You can request anti-malaria tablets for your trip abroad online. Whether you are on Safari in Africa, island hopping through Indonesia, or seeing Indias' rural wonders, Malaria is a threat that should be taken seriously. Malaria is one of the world most lethal diseases and is spread by mosquitoes present in many tropical and subtropical countries.
There is no vaccination against malaria; however, anti-malaria tablets are highly effective in preventing malaria. Anti-malaria tablets help the body fight off the parasite which can causes the disease. Some mosquitoes are carriers of this parasite, and when you are bitten, it can enter your body and lead to malaria.
While anti malaria tablets provide protection against malaria, they must be taken correctly and used in combination with other measures to avoid mosquito bites in order to make sure the risk of contraction is at its lowest. If not taken as directed, their effectiveness is greatly reduced.
No malaria tablet guarantees 100% protection against contraction of malaria.
