Prevention and curative treatment of malaria
The website contains articles describing malaria treatment according to international guidelines.
The Web site provides general information on malaria to the public and scientific items to healthcare professionals.
Prevention: drugs, mosquito bed nets...
It is important to protect oneself from a mosquito bite as it transmits the malaria parasite. For this, use bed net treated with insecticide and spray insecticides in bedrooms. This is especially important for pregnant women and children under the age of 5 years-old.
Today, there is no vaccine that will definitively prevent against malaria.
Malaria: curative treatment
Though both are given orally, the treatment for the prevention of malaria and the treatment for non-complicated malaria are different. Only your medical practitioner or your pharmacist can advise you for the appropriate drug and dose (based on your country of origin, your weight, your medical history, etc.).
If you are a healthcare professional, Guidelines for the treatment of malaria are available in the section “Antimalarials drugs”.
