Product description
A reliable malaria prevention medication.
Malaria is spread by mosquitoes and is caused by a parasite entering your blood stream. Symptoms include headaches, high fever, muscular pain, nausea (and more) and these usually start within 7-18 days of being bitten. This tropical disease can be fatal if left untreated.
That's why Maloff protect is an essential and convenient treatment for those planning on visiting high-risk areas. Maloff protect contains the active ingredients atovaquone and proguanil which kill the malarial parasite (if the course is taken correctly). It does this by stopping the production of substances needed by the parasite for it to reproduce, as well as preventing the action of a compound found within the parasite. The convenience of Maloff's prescription- free treatment plan means your travel preparations can be made simple.
Features of Maloff protect 36 pack tablets
- Prescription-free medicine
- Can kill parasite within seven days
- Makes travel plans easier
