What Our Customers Are Saying
FAQ’s
These are the most common questions that we get asked.
What is malaria, and how is it transmitted?
Malaria is a serious disease caused by parasites transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. It can cause symptoms such as fever, chills, and flu-like illness; in severe cases, it can be life-threatening.
How can I prevent malaria when travelling to high-risk areas?
The best way to prevent malaria is by taking prescribed antimalarial medication, using mosquito repellents, wearing protective clothing, and sleeping under insecticide-treated bed nets.
Do I need a consultation before getting malaria prevention medication?
A consultation with one of our pharmacists is essential to ensure you receive the correct advice and medication based on your travel destination and personal health history.
How soon before my trip should I start malaria prevention medication?
This depends on the specific medication prescribed. Some must be started a few days before entering a malaria-prone area, while others must be started earlier. Our pharmacists will provide detailed instructions during your consultation.
HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST?
Malaria prevention medication starts from £0.65 per tablet for Doxycycline and £3.00 per tablet for Malarone. Our full price list can be accessed here.
