Maloff Protect are anti-malaria tablets that can help to keep you from catching malaria if you’re travelling to an area with a high risk of disease. If you’re travelling to a malaria zone and are worried about staying safe from mosquito bites, Maloff protect can help to keep you safe from malaria for your entire stay, and when you return home.
Malaria is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, which passes the malaria parasite (plasmodium falciparum) into the bloodstream. Maloff protect prevents malaria by killing this parasite.
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.
