Safer, more effective malaria protection for families travelling to Africa is now available.

Malarone is available in a children's formulation and is the first ever malaria tablet designed just for kids. The key benefits include:

 Small, easy to swallow tablets that are film coated and therefore don't taste bitter.

 Tablets can be crushed for small children.

 Simple, once daily dosage starting just the day before travel.

 Tablets can be discontinued just 7 days after leaving the malaria area.

 98% efficacy against Plasmodium falciparum, the most serious form of malaria.

 Extremely low risk of side effects.

Despite the growth of travel to Africa generally, many families have held back from going there on account of the fear of malaria and a reluctance to expose their children to possible side-effects of medication. The launch of a children’s formulation of Malarone has opened up new opportunities for families wishing to travel to Africa, enabling them to do so with much greater safety and peace of mind - great news for families.
