How to protect from malaria and how to treat it?
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.
Advice for prevention: protect yourself from mosquito’s bites
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.
There is no vaccine against malaria yet although researchers are still working on it.
Curative treatment of malaria
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.).
