Atovaquone-proguanil

Atovaquone-proguanil is a combined medication used to prevent and treat malaria, a serious disease caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. It works by attacking the parasite's energy production and reproductive processes, effectively clearing the infection. The medication is typically taken as a daily pill before, during, and after travel to malaria-endemic areas. It’s important to follow the prescribed dosage and timing, and to discuss any health conditions or medications with your doctor before use. Atovaquone-proguanil is generally safe and effective when used correctly, helping protect travelers from malaria's potentially severe effects.
