Paediatric Malarone has two uses:
•ƒ to prevent malaria (for children weighing between 11 kg and 40 kg)
•ƒ to treat malaria (for children weighing between 5 kg and <11 kg).
Although this medicine is usually used for children and teenagers, it can also be prescribed for adults weighing less than 40 kg.
Malarone Paediatric belongs to a group of medicines called anti-malarials. It contains two active ingredients, atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride. It is used to prevent and treat malaria in children.
Malaria is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, which passes the malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) into the bloodstream. Malarone Paediatric prevents malaria by killing this parasite. For those already infected with malaria, Malarone Paediatric also kills these parasites.
People of any age can get malaria. It is a serious disease, but is preventable.
As well as taking Malarone Paediatric tablets, it is very important to take steps to avoid mosquito bites:
•ƒUse insect repellent on exposed areas of the skin
•ƒCovers most of the body at sunset, as this is the time when mosquitoes are most active
•ƒSleep in a screened room or under a mosquito net impregnated with insecticide
•ƒMake sure to close all windows and doors at sunset, if they are not screened
•ƒUse insecticides, such as spray, plug-ins and mats to clear a room of insects and/or to deter mosquitoes from entering the room.
