    Boots do their own brand which is a fraction of the price and exactly the same active ingredients.

    Try http://www.travelpharm.com/ I used them a couple of weeks ago, ended up saving £50 for three people based on a 4 week trip over the local pharmacy price.

    Delivery is free too if your order is over £5.
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!

    As the OP asked, could someone advise of this boots own brand? If it is the same thing but under a different name, why pay the full £2+ for malarone? I need to buy 60+ tablets so would appreciate the help.

    Thanks.

    In the end I bought mine from Tesco pharmacy as they were not that much more expensive than the online companys and I needed to guarantee they wouldnt get caught up in the postal strikes.

  • Hi, we are going to China ( Hainan Island ) and were told these Doxycycline (100mg) are better than malarone because of the side effects. We got ours with presciption from here. Ive used them before and are excellent

    As far as I know there are no Malarone generics available. Are you sure you they are the same as it would be very dangerous to take anti-malarial tablets that are not appropriate for the region you are travelling through. They are probably proguanil and chloroquine
