Why Take Antimalarial Medication?

How Do Antimalarial Tablets Work?
Antimalarial medicines work by stopping the malaria parasite from growing in your body. You must start the tablets before travel, take them during your stay, and continue for a set time after returning.
When taken correctly, these tablets are very effective in preventing malaria.
