Maloff Protect
Uses
For chemoprophylaxis of P. falciparum malaria in adults, alongside bite prevention. Because Maloff Protect is effective against drug sensitive and drug resistant P. falciparum it is especially recommended for chemoprophylaxis of P. falciparum malaria where the pathogen may be resistant to other antimalarials. Official guidelines and local information on the prevalence of resistance to antimalarial drugs should be taken into consideration. Official guidelines will normally include World Health Organisation (WHO) and public health authorities' guidelines.
