Malaria poses a serious threat to travellers visiting tropical and subtropical regions, claiming over 600,000 lives annually worldwide. If you’re travelling to malaria-endemic areas, antimalarial medication is essential for safe travel.
At our Slough Travel Clinic, we provide comprehensive malaria prevention services, including risk assessment, prescription antimalarial medication, and expert guidance on avoiding mosquito bites. Our experienced pharmacists deliver personalised travel health consultations to ensure you’re fully protected throughout your journey.
Call or book online to schedule your travel health consultation. We recommend booking 4–6 weeks before departure to allow time for any necessary vaccinations, though we accommodate urgent travellers needing immediate malaria prevention.
Our pharmacists will review your complete itinerary, assess your malaria risk, and evaluate your medical history. You'll receive a tailored antimalarial medication prescription with clear instructions on when to start, dosing schedule, and duration. Comprehensive travel health advice and any necessary vaccinations provided during the same visit.
Collect your prescribed antimalarial medication from our clinic with detailed guidance on correct usage, potential side effects, and mosquito bite prevention strategies. You'll leave fully prepared with everything needed for safe, malaria-free travel.
Malaria is a potentially life-threatening parasitic disease transmitted through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. The disease is caused by Plasmodium parasites, with Plasmodium falciparum being the most dangerous species responsible for severe complications and death.
Even short visits to endemic areas carry risk. Business travellers staying in cities are not immune; mosquitoes don’t respect hotel boundaries.
Whilst no single antimalaria medication is widely used for travellers, effective antimalarial medication provides excellent protection when combined with bite prevention measures. The right antimalarial treatment can reduce your malaria risk by over 90%.
Severe malaria can progress to organ failure and death within days if untreated
Travellers from non-endemic countries have zero immunity and face higher severe illness risk
Mosquito bite prevention alone is insufficient—antimalarials are essential
Travel confidently knowing you’ve taken medically recommended precautions
Protects against cerebral malaria, severe anaemia, and kidney failure
Anyone travelling to malaria-endemic regions should consult our travel health specialists for personalised risk assessment and prescription of antimalarial medication, including consideration of age, weight, pregnancy, and medical history. Your individual risk depends on destination, season, accommodation standard, activities, and trip duration.
Malaria symptoms typically appear 7–30 days after an infected mosquito bite, though symptoms can emerge months later. Early recognition and immediate treatment are critical for preventing severe complications.
If you develop fever during or after travel to a malaria zone, seek immediate medical attention. Always inform healthcare providers about your travel history, even if your trip was months ago. Malaria is a medical emergency.
