since the beginning of 2001 there's a new malaria prevent on the market - Malarone

Malarone is a combination of Atovaquine and Proguanil

Advantages:

1. compared to lariam lesser to none side effects

2. proven efficacy including in areas of Chloroquine resistance

3. short period of taking pills


disadvantage (if any):

1. taking pill every day

Malarone is a good alternative for those who spend only a short period in a Malaria area. You start taking pills 1 day before entering the Malaria area, continue throughout your stay and end 7 days after leaving the area.

More info can be found at

www.malarone.com
