At Travel Med Inc., a travel health specialist will review your health and medication history as well as your destination. We will make sure that the correct anti-malarial drug is prescribed based on these factors. Common drugs used for malaria prevention can be:

• Malarone
• Mefloquine (Lariam)
• Doxycycline
• Chloroquine (Aralen)

As with any medication, each anti-malaria drug has potential side effects. Additionally, some medications do not work in certain parts of the world. It is important for these factors to be reviewed by a travel health specialist before choosing which drug is right for you. Malaria medicine is always recommended when traveling to a region where malaria is endemic.
