SYMPTOMS OF MALARIA
It is important to be aware of the early signs of Malaria so that you can immediately seek medical help if you begin to experience them. If recognised and treated quickly enough, full recoveries can be made.
Symptoms include:
- High temperatures
- Headaches
- Vomiting
- Muscle pains
- Diarrhoea
- Shivering and feeling feverish
If you have been bitten by an infected mosquito, these symptoms generally begin to show around a week to 18 days later. Typically, the symptoms appear in a 2-day cycle, fluctuating between feeling cold and shivering and then severely fatigued.
BUY MALARIA TABLETS
Our UK online pharmacy has three treatment options available:
DOXYCYCLINE
One week to yearly courses of either 50mg or 100mg doses of this treatment can be ordered. Following your online consultation, our doctor will prescribe the course most suitable for your needs and length of holiday.
LARIAM
Between one week and seven-month courses of 250mg can be ordered of this antibiotic. To prevent malaria, it is recommended to take one 250mg dose weekly.
MALARONE
A course of one week to 12 months can be prescribed. Adults should take one 250/ 100mg tablet per day unless advised differently.
You must remember which anti-malaria tablet you are taking in case you do contract the disease. You can’t be treated with the same antibiotic you are using preventatively, as it will not be effective in curing the disease.
