Important Information

There are four types of malaria. MALARONE is approved for the treatment and prevention of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in adults and children weighing at least 25 lbs.

In studies conducted for the prevention of malaria in adults, the most common side effects possibly attributed to MALARONE versus placebo were headache (5% vs. 7%) and abdominal pain (3% vs. 5%), in pediatric patients, headache (14% vs. 14%), abdominal pain (31% vs. 29%), and vomiting (7% vs. 6%).

MALARONE is not for everyone. You should not take MALARONE if you have severe kidney disease or are allergic to MALARONE or any of its components. If you are pregnant, consult your physician about the risks and benefits of using MALARONE. Rare cases of anaphylaxis following treatment with atovaquone/proguanil (MALARONE) have been reported.
