Maloff Protect

Precautions with Maloff:

Please consult us before taking Malarone if you have severe kidney disease (stage 4 or 5).

Interactions with Other Medicines:

Inform us if you are currently taking, have recently taken, or may take any other medications, including over-the-counter drugs. Some medications can affect how Maloff works, or it may alter the effectiveness of other medications. This includes:

• Metoclopramide (used to treat nausea and vomiting)
• Antibiotics such as tetracycline, rifampicin, and rifabutin
• Efavirenz or certain highly active protease inhibitors (used to treat HIV)
• Warfarin and other blood thinners
• Etoposide (used to treat cancer)

Please notify us if you start any new medications while taking Malarone.

Usage Instructions:

Take Maloff with food or a milky drink if possible, as this can enhance absorption and improve the effectiveness of the treatment.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not take Malarone unless advised by our specialist. Please contact us for further guidance or information.

 If you experience diarrhea, you should continue with the regular dosing schedule. Although diarrhea or vomiting may reduce the absorption of atovaquone, these symptoms did not decrease the efficacy of Maloff Protect for malaria prevention. However, as with other antimalarials, those experiencing diarrhea or vomiting should be advised to continue using repellents and bed nets, to prevent malaria.

For any extra information, please contact your healthcare provider or contact us.
