About

Convenient and effective1
antimalarial
medication – Maloff Protect is

prescription needed.
Maloff Protect is an effective1 and generally well-tolerated antimalarial medication containing atovaquone and proguanil – two active ingredients that work together to help prevent infection by the malaria parasite.
Available without a prescription, Maloff Protect offers a simple, accessible way to protect yourself against malaria when travelling.
How Maloff Protect works
Malaria is caused by parasites from the Plasmodium family, which enter your bloodstream when you’re bitten by an infected mosquito. The main species that affect humans are Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale, and Plasmodium knowlesi.2 Maloff Protect helps prevent malaria by targeting the parasite at different stages of its life cycle.
The active ingredient atovaquone stops the malaria parasite from producing energy, which it needs to grow and survive. Proguanil, the other active ingredient, works inside red blood cells to stop the parasite from multiplying and also helps atovaquone work more effectively. Together, they prevent the malaria parasite from developing in the body.
