Looking for antimalarial tablets from a pharmacy near you? Allied Pharmacies provides malaria prevention medication at over 200 community pharmacy locations across England and Wales. Our pharmacists can assess your travel plans and prescribe the most appropriate malaria tablets, with no GP appointment needed.
What Is This Service
The antimalarial service provides consultation, risk assessment, and prescription of antimalarial medications for travellers at your local community pharmacy. Different destinations require different antimalarial drugs, and the choice depends on the specific area you are visiting, the time of year, your medical history, and any other medications you take. Common antimalarials include atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone), doxycycline, and mefloquine. The pharmacist will also advise on mosquito bite prevention measures.
Who Is This Service For
This service is for anyone travelling to areas where malaria is transmitted, including parts of Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Central and South America, and the Middle East. Even short trips to malaria areas require antimalarial precautions. Visit your local pharmacy to discuss your travel plans.
What Does the Service Involve
The pharmacist will review your travel itinerary, dates, and planned activities. They will assess which areas have malaria risk and recommend the most appropriate antimalarial medication. They will check your medical history and any other medications for interactions, prescribe the antimalarial, and explain how to take it including when to start before travel and how long to continue after returning. They will also advise on mosquito bite prevention including insect repellent, bed nets, and covering up.
Is This Service Free
This is a private service. Consultation and medication costs apply. Contact your nearest Allied Pharmacies for pricing.
How to Access This Service
Visit or contact your nearest Allied Pharmacies at least 2 to 3 weeks before travel. Some antimalarials need to be started 1 to 2 weeks before departure. Walk-in appointments may be available at locations across England and Wales.
