Maloff Protect is an antimalarial medication, malaria prophylaxis that helps prevent malaria in individuals who are traveling to areas where the disease is present.

What is Malaria?

Malaria is a serious tropical disease that can be fatal if not treated promptly. A single mosquito bite leads to infection.

It’s important to be aware of the symptoms of malaria if you’re travelling to areas where there’s a high risk of the disease.

Symptoms of malaria can develop as quickly as 7 days after you’re bitten by an infected mosquito.

Typically, the time between being infected and when symptoms start (incubation period) is 7 to 18 days, depending on the specific parasite you’re infected with. However, in some cases it can take up to a year for symptoms to develop.

The initial symptoms of malaria are flu-like and include:

a high temperature of 38C or above
feeling hot and shivery
headaches
vomiting
muscle pains
diarrhoea
generally feeling unwell

These symptoms are often mild and can sometimes be difficult to identify as malaria.

How to protect yourself from malaria?

People of any age can get malaria. It is a serious disease, but it is preventable. As well as taking Maloff Protect, it is very important that you also take steps to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. The bite avoidance measures listed below should be used in combination for maximum effectiveness.

Use insect repellent on exposed areas of the skin.
Wear clothing that covers most of the body, especially after sunset as this is the time when mosquitoes are most active.
Sleep in a room with screened windows and doors or under a mosquito net (it is preferable to sleep under a mosquito net treated with insecticide if possible).
Close windows and doors at sunset, if they are not screened.
Sleep in a room with air-conditioning or a fan, as mosquitoes are less active in cooler temperatures.
Consider using an insecticide (mats, spray, plug-ins) to clear a room of insects or to stop mosquitoes from entering the room.

Can someone who is pregnant or breastfeeding use Maloff Protect?

If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or intend to get pregnant, or you are breastfeeding, do not take Maloff Protect unless your doctor tells you to.

Seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and need to take an antimalarial.

How To Use

How To Take Maloff Protect

Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor, nurse or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Take Maloff Protect with food or a milky drink, where possible as this helps your body absorb the active ingredients.

It is best to take Maloff Protect at the same time each day.

Adults: Take one tablet once a day, as described below.

Start taking Maloff Protect one to two days before travelling to an area which has malaria.
Continue taking it every day during your stay.
Take Maloff Protect for another seven days after your return to a malaria-free area.
Take the full course of Maloff Protect for maximum protection. Stopping early puts you at risk of getting malaria, as it takes seven days to ensure that any parasites that may be in your blood after a bite from an infected mosquito are killed.

Maloff Protect is only available without a prescription for adults. It is not suitable for use in children or adolescents unless it has been prescribed for them by a doctor. If you are under 18 and you are visiting an area where there is malaria, talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for advice.

Only take an additional dose if you are sick (vomit) within one hour of taking Maloff Protect. See “Warnings and precautions” overleaf.
