Malaria Prevention

Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite most commonly transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical regions of the world. Symptoms present as fever, headaches, fatigue, and flu-like illness. Preventative medications are recommended when traveling to high-risk malaria destinations. Anti-malarial pills kill parasites during the development stage and typically should begin being taken before you enter the risk area. Runway physicians typically prescribe atovaquone:proguanil (the generic equivalent of Malarone) or doxycycline. Use as directed.

Hiking over 10,000 ft elevation in Colorado. Prescription from MD said to take acetazolamide prophylactically and during hike. I didn’t seem to be adversely affected during the hike and made it to the summit!

Taking malaria medication before going to South Africa provided my wife and me with a level of comfort that really enabled us to enjoy our 5-day safari. We felt protected the entire time we were out exploring the amazing Sabi Sands Game Reserve!

The motion sickness patches were very helpful since we were staying on a small sailboat; I don’t think my brother would have been able to keep a meal down if not for them.

I was having the best time in Mexico until I got an awful stomach bug. Thankfully, I had brought my own medication with me so I didn’t have to deal with language barriers and a local pharmacy. After a quick recovery day, I was still able to enjoy the rest of my trip.
