MALARONE Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is MALARONE?
MALARONE is the brand name for atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride and is available as an oral tablet and pediatric tablet.
What dosages is MALARONE available in?
MALARONE is available as one of the following:
- Tablets (adult strength): 250 mg atovaquone and 100 mg proguanil hydrochloride
- Pediatric tablets: 62.5 mg atovaquone and 25 mg proguanil hydrochloride
What is MALARONE used for?
MALARONE is an antimalarial and is used to prevent and treat malaria caused by plasmodium falciparum species.
How does MALARONE work?
MALARONE is a combination of two medications that work together to stop malaria from growing in your body. Atovaquone works by stopping the malaria parasite from being able to make energy for itself. Without energy, the malaria parasite dies off. Proguanil is thought to work by boosting atovaquone’s effect on the malaria parasite.
How do I take MALARONE?
For malaria prevention: Typically, you’ll start MALARONE 1 to 2 days before you enter an area with malaria, and then continue taking the medication throughout your stay. After you leave from this area, you’ll need to take MALARONE for 7 more days. MALARONE should be taken with food or a milky drink.
Is it safe for me to take MALARONE?
MALARONE is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication in the following:
