Maloff Protect 24 Pack – Malaria Prevention Tablets
Maloff Protect 24 pack is a prescription-only malaria prevention tablet containing Atovaquone 250mg and Proguanil 100mg. It is one of the most convenient and effective options for travellers to high-risk malaria areas.
Each pack contains 24 tablets — ideal for trips of up to 3 weeks (including the 7 days after leaving the risk area).
How Does Maloff Protect Work?
The two active ingredients work together to kill the malaria parasite in the liver and blood before it can cause infection. It is taken once daily and does not require you to start weeks in advance like some older malaria tablets.
