travelpharm for generic malarone

Hi I need to buy 30 days worth of malarone tablets (Can not get the Doxycycline as already have a bad sun allergy) and the cheapest I can find is sold on http://www.travelpharm.com/ however I am not sure this site is legit? I don't understand why they are so much cheaper than other companies can anyone tell me if the tablets they sell are legit and not chalk?
I also went to asda today where they told me they were not selling them anymore and had an issue with there supplier so now not sure where to get them I am tempted by travelpharm however am cautious about it please help

Many thanks

    No idea, but the "about us" section of their web page gives plenty of details that you could easily check.
  • I can help! I ordered generic malarone from them 2 summers ago. I had no problem whatsoever, in fact I recall them calling to query the number I wanted as I had put I was going for a few days less than I actually was and they wanted to check. I did the online consultation and they turned up the next day.

    I've used knowmalaria.com and found them helpful.

  • thanks it all looks legit just cant believe how much cheaper they offer the pills compared to my local chemists and the high street chemists so it made me weary however they appear to be a registered chemist but I am still dubious

    I checked that I am just weary beacuse of the low prices and the fact that there trust pilot score is almost too perfect I must be paranoid lol

    have ordered anti-malarials from them in the past and had no problem. It could just be that the generic drug is so much cheaper than what Malarone previously cost because GSKs license ran out last year

    They're a registered pharmacy, so looks legitimate.

    I used DrFox before. The difference it would seem is that travelpharma uses a prescribing pharmacist to review the prescription whereas DrFox's are reviewed by an actual GP.
