I am sure I bought my anti malarial over the counter at Boots without a prescription ! I may be wrong I got advice from phamasist as to what and how to take.

If you go onto the website of the School of Tropical Medicine in Liverpool you may find some info. Anti malarial meds can change according to the area you're visiting and the type of parasites around at the present time.I think you have to take them for a time before you go and then when you come back. You need professional advice methinks.

Thanks all, got a script from my Doc in the end at bought the Malarone from Boots yesterday. Malarone only needs to be started 1-2 days prior to travel.

Did call the Nomad clinic but their travel health person wasn't there over the Easter weekend.

sometimes doctors say to take a week beforehand but I think that is purely because its good to know before you go if they agree with you or not. I think 2 days before is fine

I know Chlorquine is to be started a week before....everything I've seen about Malarone says the 1-2 days.
