I'm on the search for the cheapest malarone (or generic) prices.

Malarone
Boots £2.84 each
Dr Fox (online) quotes £2.74 + £1-4 prescription fee + £2.90 delivery
Asda £1.50 each

Generic malarone
Boots out of stock
Dr Fox £1.22 each + £1-4 prescription fee + £2.90 delivery

Anyone know any better prices?

I'm happy to add to the table if anyone has alternative suppliers.

    Asda were by far the cheapest a year ago.
  • Well, I am getting mine from Asda. They only sell Malarone itself for £1.25 per tablet. I have booked an appointment tomorrow to see the pharmacist there for a quick consultation which is how they do it. I did a fair bit of research before finding out that Asda is the cheapest. Sainsburys sell Maloff for 24 tablets for £44.99, so Asda it is.
  • Correction. I collected my Malarone tablets from Asda today and they were £1.50 each. Still good value though.
