Anti-Malaria tablets - Malarone

I don't see why you can't share but do be aware that you have to take them for some time before you go, while you are there and also for some time when you get back. I think, but don't quote me on it, it was taking them for 2 days before going and then a week on your return.

I need to get some Malarone anti-malaria tablets. The best price I've found so far is £1.99 each. Does anyone know of a better price for these?

Hi Steve, first time doing this so hopefully it's okay,. Best price around is £2.10 from pharmacies in Super Drug :j

Hi Steve, first time on this so hopefully ok. Best price around is from Super Drug pharmacies at £2.10 (with no post or packing if you visit obviously).

Hi,

I just came back from a trip in South East Asia and have a few boxes left of Malarone, just in case anyone is interested...

Hiya, I'd be interested in these. How many tablets have you got and how much would you want for them?

Hi all,

There are 2 of us travelling to a malaria affected area for a period of 5 days. At Lloyds Pharmacy online, Malarone is £59.99 for a weeks worth, or £75 for 2 weeks worth.
Are the tablets a course of tablets, ie we would have to order a weeks 'course' each at a cost of £120, or canI order 2 weeks worth for me which we then share and save £45?
Any help would be much appreciated.

A supply for a week's holiday is NOT the same as a week's supply.

Malarone for one person for a 2 week holiday is (2 tablets before trip + 14 tablets during trip + 7 tablets when home) = 23 tablets. That is how many you get if you just buy their "two week trip" option.

However, for a weeks holiday you each need (2 tablets before trip + 7 tablets during trip + 7 tablets when home) = 16 tablets. Thats how many you get if you buy their "one week trip" option.

So if you buy a "two week trip" option you will not have enough tablets for both of you for a one week trip.

My Gp is charging me £9.50 for a prescription and i need 5! He can't do it all on one?
Bit Cheeky really.

5 is definitely a bit cheeky - thats another £47.50 on top of the cost for the Malarone!! I got mine from www. doctorfox.co.uk - prescription is included in the price - worked out at £2.35 per tablet

I would recommend xpresspharmacy.co.uk. I paid £44 for 19 tablets and this included the cost of the prescription and recorded delivery. They even provided a prepaid first class envelope for the prescription. I was kept up to date about progress (reminder to send prescription, prescription received and tablets sent) so had no worries about buying on line. A little more expensive than what has been quoted but fully inclusive and the prices of other suppliers do seem to have changed from earlier posts.
